4820-Safety Relief Valve

The Defense Logistics Agency Land and Maritime is conducting market research for a potential procurement of Safety Relief Valves (NSN 4820-01-377-3885) under a Firm Fixed Price Contract. This pre-solicitation notice is intended for informational and planning purposes only to assess market availability and supplier capability, rather than to solicit formal proposals or quotations. Interested suppliers must complete and return the attached market research questionnaire to Brian Bulfin at brian.bulfin@dla.mil by March 4, 2026, at 4:00 P.M. EST. The questionnaire requests comprehensive information including company details, pricing for estimated quantities and quantity breaks, commercial item determinations, testing capabilities, delivery terms, and production capacity. Prospective suppliers must meet the NAICS code 332911 (Industrial Valve Manufacturing) classification with a business size standard of 750 employees, though no set-aside designation applies to this procurement. The Government is not obligated to pay for any information submitted and reserves the right to use responses to inform its acquisition strategy.

This market research notice does not represent a binding solicitation or commitment to award a contract. The estimated procurement involves approximately 13 units of the HUNT VALVE model R10AK2K2-12-BM1 safety relief valve, though no specific award value or budget range is disclosed in the notice. There are no incumbent contractors or current awardees identified in the pre-solicitation materials. Suppliers are required to confirm their willingness to accept FOB Origin delivery terms and must disclose estimated lead times and maximum production capacity. The questionnaire also requires responses regarding the item's status as a commercial product, its availability on the GSA Schedule, established pricing lists, and documented sales history to the general public. Prospective contractors should note that this is strictly a market research phase, with formal solicitation details and evaluation criteria to be determined based on responses received by the March 4 deadline.
