Valves, Powered

PSC Category 4810 (Powered Valves) encompasses a diverse range of electrically, pneumatically, or hydraulically operated valve systems used across military and aerospace applications. These valves are critical components in controlling fluid flow, pressure regulation, and system functionality in complex mechanical and electronic environments. The category includes various valve types such as solenoid valves, linear direct valves, butterfly valves, gate valves, and globe valves designed for specialized military and naval equipment.

The federal contract awards demonstrate significant procurement activity, with contract values ranging from approximately $1,000 to $2.5 million. Key awardees include Marotta Controls Inc., Honeywell International, AAR Supply Chain, Collins Aerospace, and Tactair Fluid Controls Inc. Most awards were issued by the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Aviation, Naval Supply Systems Command, and U.S. Coast Guard, with a majority using firm fixed-price purchase orders or delivery orders. The awards predominantly targeted aircraft, maritime, and naval systems, with performance locations primarily in Oklahoma, California, and the East Coast. While most awards were unrestricted, some utilized total small business set-aside designations.

Recent federal contract opportunities within this PSC category focus on procuring specialized valve components for military aircraft platforms like F-16, F-15, and C-130, as well as naval and maritime applications. The opportunities primarily originate from the Defense Logistics Agency Aviation, Naval Supply Systems Command, and U.S. Coast Guard. Most solicitations seek between 2-105 valve units with technical specifications requiring compliance with military standards like MIL-STD-130 and MIL-STD-2073. Performance locations are concentrated in Oklahoma (Tinker AFB), California, and Maryland, with agencies seeking manufacturers capable of producing precision-engineered valve assemblies for complex aerospace and maritime systems.
