The Naval Supply Systems Command awarded a $799,999 firm fixed-price purchase order to Leslie Controls, Inc. for the supply of pressure reduction valves (1 inch SEPA configuration). The contract, awarded on September 9, 2021, with an ultimate completion date of September 29, 2023, originated from a pre-solicitation notice issued in December 2020 that sought five valves (NSN 4Y-4820-010673590-L1) from the original equipment manufacturer on a sole-source basis due to limited technical data rights. No set-aside designation was applied to this procurement, allowing for open competition. The work is to be performed in Temple Terrace, Florida.
