The New Jersey HVAC pipeline is unusually early-stage: 396 of 657 active projects (60%) have not reached a bid board yet. No single owner dominates: the busiest buyer, Pleasantville City School District, holds only 7 of 696 tracked projects, with 504 public buyers active across 21 counties. School districts drive 44% of the volume, ahead of municipal governments at 27%. The biggest pre-bid cluster is the 128 projects at pre-bid, where owners are setting scopes and budgets months before any solicitation exists.
