48-valve, flow control

The Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Maritime at Mechanicsburg is seeking sources capable of supplying a flow control valve (NSN 7HE 4810 014851393, Part Number 23070186) with an approved design from Rolls-Royce Corporation (CAGE 63005). This is a pre-solicitation notice issued for informational purposes only and does not constitute a formal solicitation or commitment by the government. Interested suppliers must complete and submit the attached market survey by 2:00 PM EST on April 23, 2026, via email to Jennifer.Elliott@dla.mil. A critical requirement for non-OEM sources is the provision of complete traceability information demonstrating material sourcing back to the original equipment manufacturer; failure to provide this documentation may render an offer non-responsive. The market survey requests detailed information regarding item availability, commercial status, pricing across various quantity ranges, delivery timeframes, inventory status, and willingness to accept specific FOB and inspection terms.

This procurement carries no set-aside designation, and the market survey does not specify a contract award value or budget range at this stage. The solicitation does not identify any current contractors or incumbents, as this appears to be an exploratory market assessment to determine supplier capability and interest. Respondents should note that completion of the market survey is strictly voluntary and submission does not obligate the government to award a contract or allocate any funds. The survey seeks extensive commercial capability information, including evidence of sales to the general public, manufacturing capacity, employee counts, parent company relationships, and willingness to accept option years with Economic Price Adjustment clauses. No specific quantity requirements or service timeline are stated in this pre-solicitation notice, as DLA is in the preliminary stage of evaluating market conditions for this component.
