The Naval Supply Systems Command awarded a $56,361.50 firm fixed-price purchase order to Delphinus Engineering, Inc. on October 11, 2023, for the supply of ball valves with an ultimate completion date of August 5, 2024. The award was made without set-aside designation to the minority-owned, Pennsylvania-based small business contractor, with performance to take place in Norfolk, Virginia. Delphinus Engineering, a Subchapter S Corporation specializing in naval systems and fleet maintenance support, was selected based on its established expertise in providing comprehensive engineering and technical services to the Department of Defense.
This purchase order supports the Naval Supply Systems Command's fleet readiness operations and likely represents a delivery order against one of Delphinus Engineering's existing indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity contracts with Naval Sea Systems Command. The contractor's extensive portfolio of naval vessel maintenance and modernization work, including hull, mechanical, and electrical system upgrades across surface ships, submarines, and aircraft carriers, positions it well to fulfill critical supply requirements. The ball valve procurement aligns with the company's ongoing support of naval vessel operational readiness and modernization initiatives across various maritime platforms.
