QUALIFIED BID — HVAC

Connect: https://qualifiedbid.qualifiedcapacity.com/#connect

STARTING CONTEXT
Research [BUSINESS / HVAC CAPABILITIES] in [SERVICE ZIPs / RADIUS]. Use FY2020–FY2026 through 30 Sep 2026, with FY2025 and FY2026 separately. NAICS 238220 is shared plumbing/heating/air-conditioning contractor context, not an HVAC-only market. Isolate actual HVAC services by descriptions and product/service codes; equipment supply and adjacent construction require separate scope. Do not add overlapping markets. Research does not change our profile or record a decision.

01 Who buys near me?

Find actual facilities, purchased HVAC services, buying offices and award IDs in our service ZIPs and operating radius. Show seven-year and recent-year net funding, distinct awards and actions. Corroborate performance addresses and multi-site scope. Separate maintenance, replacement, installation and equipment supply; deduplicate combined areas. A quiet coded ZIP is not proof of no work or future demand.

02 What size work could I pursue?

Show recent funded new-award counts, potential-value medians and bands below $0.25M, $0.25M to below $1.00M, and at least $1.00M. Define new by first recorded action. Keep broad code and HVAC-description sensitivity separate, with exclusions and source dates. Provide positive funded/exercised/potential examples, contract periods and vehicle access. Options and multi-year values are not annual price, cash paid or guaranteed revenue.

03 What may be coming next?

Separate live bids, published agency forecasts and current/potential contract-end watch leads. Include facility, buyer, update date, estimated timing/band, vehicle, set-aside and route to bid or subcontract. Search adjacent construction/equipment codes separately; no additive market or guaranteed rebid. Use official forecasts/facility sources where connector coverage is unavailable.

04 Where is buying concentrated?

Show top ten states, reported cities and ZIPs together with seven-year and recent-year dollars/counts and positive full-award sizes. Explain every displayed zero, small positive display threshold and negative adjustment in context. Preserve source labels, missing geography and size exclusions; distinct awards across years/places overlap.

05 Which live requirement fits our business?

Find current HVAC maintenance, replacement, repair or installation notices matching our service and travel limits. Read current status, deadline/time zone, scope, set-aside, amendments and source links. With our confirmed business facts distinguish any recorded Qualified Bid recommendation from document coverage and our own judgment. Do not invent a recommendation or eligibility.

06 Can our completed projects meet the experience requirement?

For [NOTICE], extract minimum similar-project count, completion window, size/scope/complexity, permitted commercial or subcontract experience, and required customer/value/date/contact evidence. Separately extract past-performance rating rules. A neutral rating does not waive a minimum project submission. Map requirements to our actual proof and assigned team.

07 What must we clarify before pricing?

Compare the RFQ item schedule, every scope revision, drawings, specifications, forms and amendments. Cite conflicting sites, quantities, optional work, start/completion periods, lead-time provisions and receipt time zones. Identify referenced documents not separately available. Draft precise written clarification questions; do not silently resolve them or send anything.

08 What exactly must be priced and evaluated?

Map each base/option line item to scope, equipment compatibility, access, disposal, warranty and schedule. Extract whether evaluation is lowest price technically acceptable or a tradeoff; preserve option-evaluation/exercise and unbalanced-price conditions. Use our actual equipment quotes, labor, craft wages/fringes, supplier terms, subcontractors and assumptions.

09 How do bonds, acceptance and payment affect cash?

Extract bid-guarantee versus performance/payment bond requirements and deadlines. Separate offer validity from performance duration. Read proper progress-request approval, certification, payroll, security, retainage, bond-premium proof and final release conditions. Preserve special-action exceptions, including any undefinitized-action cap. Do not infer unconditional Net 30 or an automatic retainage deduction.

10 What is our dated pursuit decision?

Separate verified source facts, any recorded company-specific Qualified Bid recommendation and our own pursue/team/watch/pass decision. List unresolved scope, experience, staffing, schedule, equipment, bonds, price, cash and deadline gates with source, owner and next action. Do not write profiles/decisions or contact buyers/partners without confirmation.
