The Defense Logistics Agency Land and Maritime is conducting market research for the potential procurement of NSN 4810-00-734-9491, a Gate Valve, under a Firm Fixed Price Contract. This pre-solicitation notice is issued for informational and planning purposes to identify qualified businesses capable of supplying this item for which the Government does not possess complete, unrestricted technical data. Interested suppliers must complete and submit the attached market survey questionnaire by 11:59 p.m. EST on March 5, 2026, to Benjamin Nevitt at Benjamin.Nevitt@dla.mil. The questionnaire requests comprehensive supplier capability information, including company size and business status, SAM registration and FAR/DFARS compliance certifications, pricing information across various quantity ranges, delivery timelines and production capacity, packaging standards compliance with ASTM D3951 and MIL-STD-129 markings, first article testing capability, and identification of hazardous materials or precious metals content. This market research will be used to determine the appropriate acquisition method and develop a realistic and beneficial solicitation that serves the Government's interests.

This procurement is not subject to any small business set-aside and targets the approved source, Meggitt North Hollywood Inc. (CAGE 79318), which manufactures Part Number 1520-277. The contract requirement is for a quantity of 33 units, with the questionnaire requesting pricing information for quantity ranges from 1 to 66 units to assess supplier flexibility and economic pricing structures. The applicable NAICS code is 332911 (Industrial Valve Manufacturing) with a business size standard of 750 employees, indicating this procurement may be suitable for either large or small businesses that meet the specified criteria. While no specific award value or budget range is disclosed in this pre-solicitation notice, the references to simplified acquisition threshold procedures and firm fixed-price contracting indicate this is anticipated to be a moderate-value procurement. The Government has indicated no obligation to award a contract or pay for information provided in response to this market research initiative.
