Purchase Order SPE8E726P0336

The U.S. Department of Defense awarded a $44,330 firm fixed-price purchase order to Ashland Electric Products Inc., a veteran-owned small business manufacturer based in Rochester, New Hampshire, for the supply of a centrifugal fan. The contract, awarded on January 12, 2026, carries a total small business set-aside designation and is scheduled for completion by May 4, 2026. Ashland Electric Products specializes in the design and production of high-performance electric motors, fans, blowers, and related mechanical components for defense applications, with particular expertise in supporting the U.S. Army and Defense Logistics Agency procurement requirements.

This award reflects Ashland Electric's established role as a trusted supplier of specialized electrical and mechanical components to the Department of Defense. The company maintains a significant Indefinite Delivery Vehicle contract with the Army Aviation and Missile Life Cycle Management Command valued at approximately $1.16 million, which supports critical defense programs including the Patriot missile system. The current purchase order for the centrifugal fan originated from a small business set-aside solicitation posted in July 2025, consistent with Ashland Electric's track record of fulfilling defense component requirements through both blanket contracts and individual delivery orders.
