NSN 4140-01-434-0821 - Ventilating Fan

The Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Land and Maritime is seeking to procure a Ventilating Fan identified by NSN 4140-01-434-0821 through a Firm Fixed Price (FFP) contract. The solicitation requires vendors to meet specific technical and packaging standards, including First Article Test (FAT) certification and compliance with LEVEL A and B packing per ASTM specifications. Prospective contractors must be certified under the United States/Canada Joint Certification Program to access required technical data and must adhere to applicable DFARS and FAR clauses related to acquisitions, forgings, steel, and export-controlled items. The government will evaluate proposals considering pricing, technical compliance, and vendor qualifications, with a potential reverse auction pricing technique available though not mandated. The pre-solicitation notice was posted on April 8, 2025, with a due date of November 25, 2025, providing vendors with sufficient lead time to prepare formal proposals following the release of the full solicitation.

This opportunity is not designated as a set-aside contract, allowing competition from all eligible vendors. The procurement calls for 04 units of the ventilating fan with an option to acquire an additional 04 units within 365 days after award, providing potential for contract expansion. Delivery will be directed to DLA Distribution Anniston in Alabama. While the pre-solicitation notice does not specify the total contract value or budget range, the Firm Fixed Price structure and the limited quantity of units suggest a relatively modest procurement value. No incumbent contractor or current supplier information is identified in the pre-solicitation announcement, indicating this may represent either a new requirement or a competitive re-compete situation open to all qualified vendors.
