Who can bid
This contract is reserved for certified HUBZone small business concerns under FAR 19.13. To bid, a company must:
- Be designated as "small" under NAICS 333413 size standards
- Maintain SBA HUBZone certification at the time of offer submission and contract award
- Have its principal office located in a historically underutilized business zone, with at least 35% of employees residing in a HUBZone
- Meet any additional DLA vendor qualification requirements
Non-HUBZone businesses, including other small disadvantaged businesses without HUBZone certification, are ineligible for this set-aside.
How to put together a competitive bid
For HUBZone manufacturing opportunities, focus on these specifics:
Certification verification. Confirm your HUBZone status is active in SAM.gov and matches the entity name and DUNS/UEI on your offer. Lapsed certification automatically disqualifies you.
Technical compliance. Industrial air purifiers under FSC 44 often require compliance with military standards or commercial item descriptions. Review the solicitation for reference to MIL-PRF, MIL-STD, or A-A specifications. If brand name or equal provisions apply, document how your product meets or exceeds the salient characteristics.
Past performance. DLA evaluates contractor performance through CPARS. If you lack direct DLA air equipment experience, highlight comparable federal or commercial contracts for HVAC, filtration, or medical support equipment.
Pricing strategy. Combined Synopsis/Solicitation notices typically allow immediate offer submission. Research DLA's historical pricing for similar NSNs through FPDS or GSA eLibrary. Factor in HUBZone price evaluation preference (10% in full and open competitions, though irrelevant here since it's a total HUBZone set-aside).
Delivery and logistics. DLA Troop Support often requires delivery to its distribution network or direct to end users. Clarify FOB terms, packaging, and marking requirements in your offer.
