Sandlapper Controls, Inc.

Sandlapper Controls, Inc., a South Carolina-based small business, supplies building automation systems, HVAC equipment, sensors, and related mechanical infrastructure components to federal facilities as a 100% prime contractor, competing across both set-aside and full-and-open procurement vehicles. The for-profit Subchapter S corporation is headquartered in Columbia, South Carolina, and operates as an authorized distributor for manufacturers including Setra, ACI, Functional Devices, Kele, and Patlite, with primary NAICS alignment in plumbing, heating, and air-conditioning contracting (28 recent awards) and automatic environmental control manufacturing (18 awards).

Sandlapper's customer base is heavily concentrated in VA healthcare operations. The Department of Veterans Affairs Veterans Health Administration Veterans Integrated Service Network 7 dominates the portfolio at 71 awards and $4.9 million in combined potential value — roughly 83% of recent award count and 47% of dollars. The next-tier customer, the Department of Agriculture Agricultural Research Service Plains Area, has placed 5 awards worth $1.8 million, primarily against Sandlapper's single-award IDIQ contract (valued at $990,009.88, running May 2022–May 2027) for building automation systems equipment and HVAC parts. Remaining federal customers include the Department of State, the Department of Justice, and the Naval Sea Systems Command, with minimal order volume. Notably, while the top-customers-by-count ranking is dominated by VA VISN 7, the top-customers-by-potential-value ranking includes GSA Federal Acquisition Service at $2.4 million (driven by Sandlapper's position on the GSA Multiple Award Schedule), creating a secondary vehicle channel alongside the USDA IDIQ.

Sandlapper operates under two primary contracting vehicles: the GSA Multiple Award Schedule (13 task orders, $922 thousand combined potential value) and the single-award USDA Agricultural Research Service IDIQ for building automation equipment (4 task orders, $885 thousand combined potential value). All delivery orders under the USDA IDIQ maintain firm fixed-price pricing with no set-aside designation; however, Sandlapper has won individual purchase orders under Total Small Business set-aside and Partial Small Business set-aside designations when competing for standalone VA facility work.

Recent representative work includes a $644.5 million firm fixed-price definitive contract awarded by VA Veterans Integrated Service Network 4 in March 2023 for VAV box replacement at WJB Dorn VA Medical Center (Columbia), awarded on a sole-source basis under FAR 6.302-1; a $396.3 thousand delivery order from USDA Plains Area (February 2024) for HVAC parts inventory under the IDIQ; a $199.2 thousand Total Small Business purchase order from USDA Agricultural Research Service (January 2026) for differential pressure transducer sensors and wire to the National Bio and Agro-Defense Facility in Manhattan, Kansas; and multiple VA VISN 7 orders for chilled water coils, heat exchangers, cooling chassis, and emergency HVAC repairs delivered through the GSA Schedule.

Activity has declined year over year — six awards in 2022 down to one in 2025 — with minimal recompete exposure in the next twenty-four months (one award, $43 thousand, nearing completion). SCI-reported invoiced revenue totaled $645 thousand across two prime service contracts (FY2023–FY2024), with 0.2 FTEs delivered in each fiscal year and government-paid median hourly rates around $730.79/hr, spanning a range from $553.40/hr at the 10th percentile to $908.19/hr at the 90th percentile. Sandlapper operates as a direct deliverer with no subcontractor engagement; the SCI dataset shows zero sub-hours share across prime contracts. The vendor's federal footprint centers on product supply, equipment replacement, and on-site HVAC system maintenance at VA medical facilities and USDA research sites, with no awarded subcontract positions in the source record.
