What the government is buying
The Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Troop Support is procuring air filters using electrostatic technology. This falls under Federal Supply Classification (FSC) 44, which covers furnace and air conditioning equipment and supplies. Electrostatic air filters use static electricity to capture airborne particles and are commonly used in HVAC systems, industrial equipment, and specialized military applications where reliable air quality control is essential.
DLA Troop Support manages procurement for a wide range of commodities that support military readiness, including construction and equipment supplies. This acquisition is part of that sustainment mission.

Who can bid
This is a total small business set-aside, meaning only small business concerns may submit offers. Your business must qualify as small under NAICS 333413 (Industrial and Commercial Fan and Blower and Air Purification Equipment Manufacturing). The Small Business Administration establishes size standards for this code—typically measured by employee count or annual receipts depending on the specific subcategory.
To compete, you must:
- Be registered in SAM.gov (System for Award Management)
- Have an active registration valid through the award period
- Meet any DLA-specific requirements see the solicitation
- Certify your small business status in your SAM profile
How to put together a competitive bid
Manufacturing and supply capacity: NAICS 333413 covers air purification equipment manufacturing. Be prepared to demonstrate your production capacity, quality control processes, and ability to meet DLA's delivery requirements for electrostatic filters. Military specifications may apply—see the solicitation for technical requirements.
Past performance: DLA places significant weight on demonstrated reliability. Highlight contracts with federal agencies, particularly DLA or other defense customers, and any experience supplying FSC 44 items through DLA's procurement systems.
Pricing strategy: The Combined Synopsis/Solicitation format suggests this may use simplified acquisition procedures. Review whether it's set up for immediate purchase or requires a formal quote. Electrostatic filters vary considerably in specifications—materials, efficiency ratings, dimensions, and electrical integration—so unit pricing must align with exact technical requirements; see the solicitation.
Small business certifications: While this is a generic small business set-aside (not 8(a), HUBZone, SDVOSB, or WOSB), verify your SAM certification is current and accurately reflects your business size status.
DLA systems: Ensure familiarity with FedMall or other DLA ordering platforms if applicable, and confirm your CAGE code matches your SAM registration.
