About this opportunity

Written by GovTribe AI ·

The Alabama Army National Guard's 117th Air Refueling Wing is procuring two ZURN 10" 375DA Double Check Valve Backflow Preventers (or equivalent) designed for fire protection water systems to protect potable water supply from contamination. The backflow preventers must meet specific technical requirements including maximum working water pressure of 175 PSI, maximum working water temperature of 140°F, epoxy-coated ductile iron construction, and certification to NSF/ANSI/CAN 61 standards and ASSE Listed 1047. The devices must feature full port OS & Y gate valves and be accessible for maintenance without line removal, with delivery required within 90 days after contract award. The solicitation was issued on August 14, 2025, with questions due by August 27, 2025, and quote responses required by August 28, 2025. The government will evaluate proposals based on technical acceptability, price, and past performance, intending to award a Firm-Fixed Price contract to the most advantageous and best-value quote.

This procurement is set aside exclusively for small businesses under the Total Small Business set-aside program, with contractors required to be registered in the System for Award Management (SAM). A quotation from American Pipe & Supply indicates the units are priced at $37,031.70 for both backflow preventers, though this appears to be reference pricing rather than a formal incumbent arrangement. The contract specifically requires two units of the 10-inch backflow prevention assemblies, which incorporate metered by-pass systems to detect leaks and unauthorized water use. Performance will take place at the Sumpter Smith Air National Guard Base located at 5401 E. Lake Blvd, Birmingham, Alabama 35217. The procurement falls under NAICS code 332919 for Other Metal Valve and Pipe Fitting Manufacturing and PSC category 4510 for Plumbing Fixtures and Accessories.
