Texas Federal HVAC Radar: Sept. 1 to 7, 2026

This week’s Radar identified four Texas federal HVAC and mechanical opportunities worth reviewing.

The goal is not to repeat every federal notice. It is to filter out the noise and highlight the opportunities, deadlines, and changes that are most likely to matter to Texas contractors.

Agency: NOAA
Solicitation: 1333MF26Q0110
Location: Galveston, Texas
Set-aside: Total Small Business
NAICS: 238220
Quotes due: September 16

NOAA is seeking a contractor to install five ductless mini-split HVAC systems at its Galveston Wet Lab facility.

Four systems will replace failing equipment. A fifth system will be a new dual-head installation serving the Turtle Barn.

The contractor is expected to provide the labor, materials, equipment, transportation, permits, and supervision needed to complete the work.

Important dates

Radar assessment: High relevance

This is a straightforward HVAC project with a defined scope, a Texas place of performance, and a total small-business set-aside. The site visit also creates an immediate action point for interested contractors.

Agency: U.S. Air Force
Solicitation: FA301626Q0270
Location: JBSA Fort Sam Houston
Set-aside: Total Small Business
NAICS: 238220
Quotes due: September 16

The Air Force is seeking seven 4-ton Bard wall-mounted HVAC units or equal for Building 1472 at Fort Sam Houston.

The scope includes:

An amendment added a previously missing solicitation cover page and the full solicitation document.

This is the type of change that can easily be missed after a contractor first reviews an opportunity. Anyone considering this project should make sure they are working from the latest documents.

Radar assessment: High relevance

The equipment quantity and scope are clearly defined, and the opportunity is reserved for small businesses.

Agency: FEMA Region 6
Solicitation: 09092026
Location: Denton, Texas
Status: Presolicitation
Anticipated set-aside: Women-Owned Small Business

FEMA is preparing a combined roofing and HVAC replacement project at the Federal Regional Center in Denton.

The anticipated scope includes:

Important dates

FEMA has also indicated that the contractor must demonstrate the ability to perform within a 150-mile radius of Denton.

Radar assessment: Worth tracking if eligible

The HVAC scope is meaningful, but the roofing component and anticipated WOSB restriction make this a more specialized opportunity.

Agency: FEMA
Solicitation: 70FB8026Q00000053
Location: Denton, Texas
Set-aside: Total Small Business
Status: Closed

FEMA sought preventive maintenance and operational tune-ups for four HVAC and environmental-control units in Denton.

The September 1 amendment made several meaningful changes to the solicitation package.

Updates included:

The solicitation has already closed, but it is a useful example of why monitoring changes matters.

A contractor who reviewed only the original posting could have been working from outdated requirements.
