FAN, TUBEAXIAL

The Defense Logistics Agency awarded a fixed-price contract to ASHLAND ELECTRIC PRODUCTS INC for the procurement of seven tube axial fans, identified by NSN 4140004031267, at a total price of $8,092.00. The award, issued under solicitation SPE8E7-26-T-2140 and contract number SPE8E926V2008, was made on July 21, 2026, with delivery required by October 5, 2026, under FOB origin terms, meaning title and risk transfer to the government at the contractor's facility. The final delivery point is the DLA Distribution San Joaquin warehouse in Tracy, California, with government-arranged transportation handling haulage from origin to destination. The contract includes mandatory compliance with rigorous packaging and marking standards, specifically MIL-STD-2073-1E for preservation and packaging, and MIL-STD-129 for labeling and barcoding, including the use of 2D Data Matrix codes. Packaging must avoid plastics where possible, and specific preservation parameters such as CLNG/DRY:1 method and no preservation material are required. Hazardous materials are strictly regulated under DFARS clauses, prohibiting hexavalent chromium and requiring full compliance with the Hazard Communication Standard, including submission of Safety Data Sheets and pre-award hazard labels. Invoicing must be processed exclusively through Wide Area WorkFlow, with invoice types dictated by item nature, and the government conducts both inspection and acceptance at the delivery destination. The contractor is subject to federal labor and ethics clauses, including equal opportunity, trafficking in persons, employment eligibility verification, sustainable products, whistleblower rights, cybersecurity safeguards, supply chain risk, and the prohibition of covered defense telecommunications equipment. The contract also includes clauses on patent indemnity, unauthorized obligations, and government rights to use and disclose technical data. The award was likely made under a small business set-aside or sole-source mechanism, given the low dollar value, though no formal evaluation criteria or socioeconomic status is disclosed. Compliance with NIST SP 800-171 for cyber information protection and DOD assessment requirements is mandated, and the contractor must maintain alignment with Federal Standard No. 313 and all applicable federal, state, and local environmental and safety regulations.
