The 119th Wing/North Dakota Air National Guard, located at 1400 32nd Ave. North in Fargo, ND 58102 is conducting preliminary Market Research to determine an available pool of Small Business vendors who can provide a remanufactured Caterpillar (CAT) C18 short block engine with an assembled block, crankshaft, cylinder packs, oil jets, and other components. These components are required to complete an overhaul of an existing CAT C18 short block engine utilized to power a 2013 Oshkosh Runway Snowblower at the 119th Wing.
