The Naval Sea Systems Command (NAVSEA) awarded a firm fixed-price purchase order to Dibert Valve and Fitting Company, Incorporated for the procurement of 18 specialized weld, gauge, and vent panel components for nuclear reactor applications. The contract, valued at approximately $135.7K with a ceiling completion date of April 1, 2026, represents a single-source acquisition from Dibert Valve as the authorized Swagelok distributor for Virginia. The components include various panel assemblies, manifold assemblies, valve assemblies, and drain panels that comply with strict naval specifications, including SC11 cleaning requirements and mercury-free standards. All items are manufactured to precise naval specifications with no substitutes permitted, and each delivery must include certificates of compliance and proper part number marking on shipping containers.
This non-competitive award required no set-aside designation and leverages Dibert Valve's established role as a critical supplier to the Department of the Navy. The Richmond, Virginia-based small business has a longstanding history of providing industrial valves, fittings, and fluid handling components to defense agencies including NAVSEA, the Naval Supply Systems Command, and the Defense Logistics Agency. The procurement supports nuclear propulsion system requirements for naval vessels, reflecting NAVSEA's ongoing need for specialized components that meet the exacting standards demanded by submarine and surface ship applications.
