48 - Manifold Valve - SPE7MC25R0032

The Defense Logistics Agency Land and Maritime is conducting a pre-solicitation for a one-time procurement of 6 MANIFOLD, VALVE units under NSN 4820010840456. The agency is seeking potential suppliers for this specialized valve manifold equipment, which falls under NAICS code 336310 (Motor Vehicle Gasoline Engine and Engine Parts Manufacturing). Currently, MAROTTA CONTROLS INC (manufacturer code 99657) with part number 280092-0101 is the only approved manufacturer for this NSN, and DLA Land and Maritime does not possess technical data for the item. Interested sources must comply with DLA Procurement Note L04 for part numbered items and DLA Procurement Note M06 for evaluation criteria, which require submission of appropriate technical and manufacturing information to become an approved source. The market research survey must be completed and returned to Richard Shemenski at Richard.Shemenski@dla.mil by 1:00 PM EST on September 22, 2025.

This procurement does not utilize any set-aside designations and is open to all qualifying contractors. MAROTTA CONTROLS INC appears to be the incumbent or primary approved manufacturer for this specific valve manifold system. The contract involves a relatively small quantity of 6 units, suggesting this is a specialized, low-volume requirement rather than a high-value procurement. The government's market research survey seeks comprehensive information including pricing sensitivity, delivery schedules, commercial availability, and willingness to provide certified cost or pricing data. The tight timeline from posting on September 12, 2025, to the response deadline of September 22, 2025, indicates the agency's urgency in gathering market intelligence for this specialized defense equipment procurement.
