The Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Land and Maritime has awarded United Valve Company, a division of Federal Industries, Inc., an Indefinite Delivery Contract (IDC) to supply a variety of industrial valves, seals, solenoids, and other fluid control components in support of military ground equipment, maritime vessels, and aircraft. The IDC has a ceiling value of $279,460.44 and a period of performance through July 21, 2025. As a prime contractor, United Valve Company has received multiple firm fixed-price delivery orders under this IDC, ranging from $25,932 to $32,512, to provide safety relief valves identified by specific national stock numbers. These delivery orders require the parts to be delivered to various DLA distribution centers in El Segundo, California. United Valve Company, a small business manufacturer, has a strong track record of providing critical repair and maintenance parts to the Department of Defense through both prime contracts and subcontracts with DLA and major defense firms. The company holds several other IDCs with DLA, with ceiling values up to $2.5 million, further demonstrating its position as a reliable supplier of specialized fluid control products.
The original sources sought notice from DLA Land and Maritime indicates the agency is preparing to solicit an IDC for specific national stock numbers where the government lacks complete technical data. The contract will be awarded only to approved sources under the authority of 10 U.S.C. 2304(c)(1). Alternate offerors will be required to provide a complete data package for evaluation. The anticipated IDC will have a one-year base period with two option years, and multiple delivery orders may be issued over the five-year ordering period. While price will be a significant factor, the final award decision will also consider delivery, past performance, and other evaluation criteria.
