Elbow 45 degree

The Department of the Navy Naval Supply Systems Command is seeking to procure a 45-degree elbow pipe fitting through a brand name acquisition with Parker Hannifin Corp under FAR 6.302-1. This acquisition will utilize commercial and simplified acquisition procedures per FAR Parts 12 and 13, with the government planning to negotiate directly with the specified manufacturer. However, authorized small business distributors may express interest and demonstrate capability to respond to the requirement before the offer due date, which the government will consider solely to determine whether to conduct a competitive procurement. The decision to maintain the brand name approach or proceed competitively remains at the government's discretion based on responses received. The solicitation is expected to be posted to Beta.Sam.Gov on approximately June 25, 2025, with quotes due around July 3, 2025. Prospective offerors must download the solicitation independently and monitor for amendments, with all communications directed to the specified email address due to teleworking arrangements.

This opportunity is designated as a Total Small Business set-aside under NAICS code 332919 for Other Metal Valve and Pipe Fitting Manufacturing. Parker Hannifin Corp is identified as the brand name manufacturer for this specialized elbow fitting requirement. The government anticipates awarding a firm-fixed price supply contract to fulfill this procurement need. While specific quantities and dollar values are not disclosed in this pre-solicitation notice, the streamlined acquisition approach suggests this is likely a smaller-scale procurement suitable for simplified procedures. The compressed timeline from solicitation posting to quote submission indicates an urgent operational requirement, with only approximately eight days between the expected posting date and the response deadline.
