Penn Air Control Inc.

Penn Air Control Inc., a veteran-owned small business based in Cypress, California, provides heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) testing, adjusting, balancing, and facility maintenance services to federal agencies as a prime contractor (69% of recent awards) and as a subcontractor on military construction projects. The company holds SBA certifications for Veteran-Owned Small Business and Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business, both expiring September 1, 2026. Penn Air Control operates primarily under NAICS 238220 (Plumbing, Heating, and Air-Conditioning Contractors) and competes predominantly on non-set-aside delivery orders and definitive contracts, though it holds two active VA IDIQ agreements valued at $500,000 (small business set-aside, VISN 5) and $696,250 (service-disabled veteran-owned set-aside, VISN 8).

The company's customer base centers heavily on the Veterans Health Administration across multiple VISNs. The top five funding entities account for 70% of recent awards by count; VA VISN 8 anchors the largest single customer relationship at $1.6 million combined potential value across seven awards, followed by VA VISN 5 at $785 thousand across five awards and VA VISN 22 at $359 thousand across eight awards. By dollar value, however, GSA Federal Acquisition Service dominates at $5.1 million combined potential value from a single award — the agency's Multiple Award Schedule vehicle through which Penn Air Control places delivery orders. The Navy accounts for 22 awards by count but carries only $6 thousand combined potential value, reflecting a high-frequency, low-dollar transactional pattern typical of Navy Facilities Engineering Command work orders. Penn Air Control also serves the Department of Health and Human Services Indian Health Service, GSA Public Buildings Service Region 8, and twenty other federal customers across the portfolio.

Penn Air Control holds seats on the GSA Multiple Award Schedule (17 task orders, $1.2 million combined potential value) and manages multiple VA IDIQ agreements, including Indefinite Delivery Contract N6247318D5853 (10 task orders) and other VA standing offers. The company also subcontracts on construction projects through Harper Construction Company, performing testing and balancing work across multiple military installations including Marine Corps Base Camp Pendleton, MCAS Miramar, and Naval Air Weapons Station China Lake, with sub-awards dating from 2022 through April 2025. Representative prime work includes a $83,110 definitive contract for testing and air balance service at the VA Palo Alto Health Care System (VISN 21, November 2023 through October 2028), a $139,250 delivery order for ventilation test and balance at the Miami VA (VISN 8, September 2022), and a $44,700 delivery order for hood cleaning services at Long Beach VA under GSA MAS (February 2026). Recent activity shows significant decline — thirteen awards in 2022 declining to one award in 2026 — with only one award ($26 thousand) facing recompete inside the next twenty-four months.

Penn Air Control's GSA Schedule labor portfolio spans 18 categories with hourly rates ranging from $46.13 (general laborer) to $241.41 (senior project manager), covering HVAC air duct cleaning, duct cleaning, test and balance engineering supervision, facilities commissioning, and professional services roles. Education requirements run from none (entry-level labor) to bachelor's degree (senior project management), with all roles non-security-cleared. The company's core capability footprint — testing, adjusting, balancing, and commissioning of HVAC systems at federal healthcare, military, and civilian facilities — is reflected across 39 NAICS awards in plumbing, heating, and air-conditioning contracting and 13 PSC awards in refrigeration and air conditioning equipment testing.
