The Department of Defense's NAICS 238220 (Plumbing, Heating, and Air‑Conditioning Contractors) market: incumbents, spending trend, set-asides and open solicitations — from FY2026 USAspending awards and live SAM.gov notices.
Contract data as of Oct 18, 2026 (USAspending) · recent coverage verified weekly
| Quarter | Awards | Obligated | Change |
|---|---|---|---|
| Q1 FY2026 | 114 | $65.8M | — |
| Q2 FY2026 | 150 | $94.7M | +44% |
| Q3 FY2026 | 38 | $10.1M | -89% |
| Q4 FY2026 · partial | 42 | $10.7M | +6% |
Federal fiscal quarters (Q1 = Oct–Dec). Awards are counted in the quarter they start; obligations are the award's obligated amount. The Department of Defense publishes contract awards to USAspending with a 90-day delay, so Q4 FY2026 is still missing most DoD awards — treat that quarter as incomplete, not as a spending decline.
| # | Contractor | Obligated | Share |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | WITHIN INTERIOR DESIGN, INC | $18.5M | 10.2% |
| 2 | COPPER CONSTRUCTION COMPANY, INC. | $16.8M | 9.3% |
| 3 | AKTARIUS LLC | $12.3M | 6.8% |
| 4 | R & W CONSTRUCTION COMPANY | $11.7M | 6.5% |
| 5 | BRYMAK & ASSOCIATES, INC. | $9.3M | 5.1% |
Registrations are rolled up to their corporate parent (USAspending parent UEI), so a company with several SAM registrations ranks once.
