Pipe Line Specialties Inc.

Pipe Line Specialties Inc., operating through its PLS Mechanical Division, is a for-profit Subchapter S corporation that performs HVAC, plumbing, and mechanical installation and renovation work for federal agencies as a subcontractor (37% of recent awards) and prime contractor (63%), with most subcontract work flowing through general contractors on military construction and facility renovation projects. The vendor operates from a small federal footprint; recent activity shows one award per year on average across an eight-award portfolio with combined potential value of $180 thousand, though obligated dollars across those awards total $5.4 million, indicating contract performance volume significantly exceeds stated potential values. The vendor has no seat on government-wide vehicles; awards cluster within a single Army Corps of Engineers indefinite delivery contract (W912DY20D0081) with two task orders.

Customer concentration is dispersed across defense and VA facilities. The top five customer organizations account for 100% of recent awards, split between Air Force Space Command (four awards, $129 thousand combined potential value), Department of Veterans Affairs Veterans Health Administration (one award, $50 thousand), and Department of Defense Missile Defense Agency (two awards, no potential value stated). Work includes HVAC system installation and priority-rating upgrades on the 100th Missile Defense Brigade Readiness Center under Pacific Construction Services and restroom renovation mechanical and electrical work on two separate tasks under Asrc Builders LLC, both subcontracts awarded between 2022 and 2024.

NAICS and PSC coding reflects facility maintenance and renovation specialty: four awards carry Commercial and Institutional Building Construction (NAICS 236220), two fall under Plumbing, Heating, and Air-Conditioning Contractors (NAICS 238220), and the remainder span furnace and steam-plant maintenance and building alteration PSCs. Service Contract Inventory data shows minimal SCI-reportable activity — four named-subcontractor records in FY2024 with approximately 0.1 FTEs, indicating the vendor's federal services footprint sits below significant SCI threshold and is heavily skewed toward small-dollar subcontracts and construction labor rather than federally captured service-contract work. The vendor subcontracts to Pacific Construction Services and Asrc Builders on its federal work; no prime subcontractor relationships are named in the source.
