DEPT OF DEFENSE.DEFENSE LOGISTICS AGENCY.TROOP SUPPORT CONSTRUCTION & EQUIPMENT.DLA TROOP SUPPORT · Response deadline: Mon, 26 Oct 2026

What the government is buying

The Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Troop Support is soliciting offers for refrigeration condensers. This is a combined synopsis and solicitation, meaning the notice serves as both an announcement of the requirement and the invitation for offerors to submit bids. A refrigeration condenser is a heat exchange component that removes heat from refrigerant vapor, converting it to liquid form—an essential part of commercial and industrial cooling systems.

Given the DLA Troop Support mission, these condensers likely support military facilities, commissaries, or deployed operations worldwide. The classification code 41 corresponds to refrigeration and air conditioning equipment in the federal supply classification system. See the solicitation for specific technical specifications, quantities, and delivery requirements.

Key facts

Who can bid

This opportunity is restricted to certified HUBZone small business concerns as defined in FAR 19.13. To qualify, your business must:

• Appear in SAM.gov as active and HUBZone-certified
• Be small under the NAICS 333415 size standard (1,000 employees for this industry)
• Maintain HUBZone eligibility through contract performance, including the principal office location and 35% HUBZone employee residency requirements

Certification is administered by the SBA and must be current at time of bid submission. Verification occurs through the HUBZone maps and SBA's dynamic certification system. Non-HUBZone businesses, including other small disadvantaged businesses without HUBZone status, are ineligible.

How to put together a competitive bid

Verify and maintain certification: Confirm your HUBZone status is active in SAM.gov and will remain valid through the anticipated contract period. Address any mapping or employee-residency discrepancies immediately—SBA reviews can take weeks.

Understand the product: NAICS 333415 covers commercial and industrial refrigeration equipment. Review your technical capability to manufacture or supply condensers meeting military specifications. DLA typically requires conformance to commercial item descriptions or defense specifications with first article testing provisions. See the solicitation for exact requirements.

Pricing strategy: DLA acquisitions often use automated evaluation against the Procurement Integrated Enterprise Environment (PIEE). Research historical pricing on DLA's Internet Bid Board System (DIBBS) for similar NSNs or condenser categories. Factor in Unique Entity Identifier validation, WAWF registration, and any mandatory freight arrangements.

Compliance readiness: Ensure your SAM.gov registration includes proper NAICS codes, CAGE code alignment, and accepted government contracting representations. Verify your financial and performance bonding capacity if required. Review theHUBZone representation requirements in FAR 52.219-3.

Submission mechanics: Combined synopsis/solicitation notices typically require electronic submission through SAM.gov or PIEE following the instructions embedded in the full notice. Do not assume paper or email submission unless explicitly stated.
