Quick Summary
The Department of the Air Force, specifically the 316th Contracting Squadron at Andrews Air Force Base, MD, is conducting a Sources Sought to identify qualified contractors for Industrial Fan Maintenance. This requirement involves annual preventative maintenance and inspection (PMI) for 24 industrial fans across Hangars 3, 4, 6, and 7. The opportunity is being considered for an 8(a) Set-Aside (FAR 19.8) with a proposed NAICS code of 811310 (size standard $12.5M). Responses are due by April 30, 2026, at 4:00 PM EST.

The Performance Work Statement (PWS) outlines annual preventative maintenance and inspection (PMI) on 24 industrial fans over a potential five-year period (one base year plus four 12-month option years, as indicated by the pricing sheet). This service is critical for maintaining aircraft maintenance capabilities by ensuring adequate ventilation and mitigating hazardous fumes in high-temperature hangar environments.
Key tasks include:
- Performing preventative maintenance on fan mounts, blades, motors, controls, and electrical connections.

- Providing daily work reports and an annual report detailing maintenance status and recommendations.
- Supplying all necessary equipment, tools, parts, and consumables.
- Conducting detailed inspections for corrosion, vibration, welds, wiring, and verifying electrical settings.
