Industrial Valve Manufacturing

The Industrial Valve Manufacturing (NAICS 332911) category encompasses the production of various valve types used across industrial, maritime, aerospace, and defense applications. These valves include ball valves, gate valves, check valves, butterfly valves, solenoid valves, safety relief valves, and specialized valve assemblies designed for complex mechanical and fluid control systems. Manufacturers in this sector produce precision-engineered components that regulate fluid flow, pressure, and movement in critical infrastructure, military equipment, naval vessels, aircraft, and industrial machinery.

Federal contract awards in this category demonstrate significant diversity, with contract values ranging from $1,000 to over $2.5 million. The Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Land and Maritime is the predominant awarding agency, consistently procuring valve components for military logistics and equipment maintenance. Most awards are firm fixed-price purchase orders, with delivery timelines between 4-12 months. Small businesses, including veteran-owned, women-owned, and minority-owned enterprises, frequently receive these contracts. Common awardees include PCX Inc., S I T Corporation, Kampi Components Co Inc., and Milwaukee Valve Co, with delivery locations primarily at various DLA distribution centers across the United States.

Recent federal contract opportunities primarily focus on acquiring specific valve types for military and defense applications. The solicitations target industrial valve manufacturing contractors, with most requests requiring electronic quote submissions and often designated as small business set-asides. Agencies like the Defense Logistics Agency Aviation, U.S. Coast Guard, and Naval Supply Systems Command are seeking valve assemblies, solenoid valves, safety relief valves, and specialized components. Procurement quantities typically range from 2-224 units, with delivery locations including DLA distribution centers in San Joaquin, Cherry Point, Hill, Oklahoma, and naval shipyards. Many opportunities emphasize precise technical specifications, specific manufacturer sources, and adherence to military standards.
