Brand name or equal OEM kace ball valves

The Naval Supply Systems Command (NAVSUP) Fleet Logistics Center Puget Sound is preparing to solicit a firm fixed-price supply contract for OEM Kace Ball Valves or equivalent products in support of the Military Sealift Command. The procurement will be conducted using Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) Parts 12 and 13 procedures, with the solicitation expected to be posted on SAM.gov on January 7, 2025, and closing approximately January 14, 2025. Prospective offerors must be registered in the System for Awards Management (SAM) to be eligible for award and are responsible for downloading and monitoring the solicitation documents independently. All technical questions must be submitted via email to Roger Bowers at roger.s.bowers.civ@us.navy.mil, with no telephone or fax inquiries accepted. Evaluation criteria were not explicitly detailed in the pre-solicitation notice, but offerors will be assessed on their capability to meet the specified requirements.

The procurement is designated as a Total Small Business set-aside within the Industrial Valve Manufacturing (NAICS 332911) category, specifically targeting Powered Valves (PSC 4810). While specific award value and precise quantity were not disclosed, the contract appears focused on supplying critical valve components for maritime operations. The short timeline between pre-solicitation and anticipated solicitation closing (approximately one week) suggests the government is seeking a rapid procurement process. Interested small businesses are encouraged to demonstrate their capability to respond to the requirement, with the government reserving sole discretion on whether to proceed with a competitive procurement based on initial responses. Potential offerors should carefully review all requirements and ensure complete SAM.gov registration to maximize their chances of participation in this federal contract opportunity.
