Hartzell Fan, Inc.

Hartzell Fan, Inc., a manufacturer of industrial and commercial fans and air-movement equipment based in Piqua, Ohio, sells vaneaxial and backward curved centrifugal fans to the Department of Defense and the Defense Logistics Agency as a prime contractor, operating exclusively on full-and-open purchase orders with no set-aside designations across its federal footprint.

The company's federal footprint centers on equipment procurement rather than services. Recent representative work includes a $13,062 sole-source purchase order from Military Sealift Command in September 2025 to supply two backward curved centrifugal fan assemblies (Hartzell A03-M-121BC100STFIKS model) for boiler layup systems on USNS COMFORT (T-AH 20), a $19,719 sole-source order from Military Sealift Command in May 2025 for four specialized Hartzell fans (Part Number A03-M-122BC100STFIKS) for USNS MERCY (T-AH 19), a $9,822 firm-fixed price purchase order from Naval Supply Systems Command in April 2026 for vaneaxial fans sourced through a Defense Logistics Agency Land and Maritime solicitation, and a $7,795 purchase order from Naval Supply Systems Command in June 2026 for vaneaxial fans. Work is performed in Piqua, Ohio, with delivery to military and maritime command installations.

Customer concentration is dominated by Navy supply and maritime commands. The Defense Logistics Agency accounts for 24 awards (30% of the total 78 awards), but Naval Supply Systems Command leads in combined potential value with 19 awards worth $276 thousand. Military Sealift Command, Naval Sea Systems Command, and Army Materiel Command customers account for the remainder. The two rankings align around Navy and DLA procurement — 67% of awards and 76% of combined potential value flow through these customers, with Navy commands holding both volume and dollar dominance. The company does not sit on named GWACs, BPAs, or agency-wide IDIQs; activity consists of discrete purchase orders issued against DLA Land and Maritime solicitations and direct Navy procurement actions.

Recent activity is sparse — two awards each in 2025 and 2026 — following a longer hiatus from 2018 to 2024. The combined potential value across all 78 awards totals $607 thousand, but $2 million has been obligated against those awards (338% of stated potential value), indicating that actual obligations and prior-year invoicing significantly exceed stated contract ceilings. The vendor carries no subcontract relationships; all 78 awards are prime awards. NAICS concentration reflects the core business: 29 awards under Industrial and Commercial Fan and Blower Manufacturing (NAICS 333413), with PSC code 4140 (Fans, Air Circulators, and Blower Equipment) accounting for 67 of 78 awards. The vendor operates as a specialty equipment original equipment manufacturer rather than a systems integrator or services provider, competing on full-and-open procurement for standardized and sole-source fan assemblies required by Navy and Army material commands.
