Motor-operated pilot valve (MOPV) design and construction for use aboard US Navy ships

The Naval Surface Warfare Center, Philadelphia Division (NSWCPD) intends to acquire engineering and technical services to design and construct motor-operated pilot valves (MOPVs) for use aboard US Navy ships. 

The MOPV is intended to replace the existing solenoid-operated pilot valves (SOPVs) which are installed in Aqueous Film Forming Foam (AFFF) and Washdown Counter Measure (WDCM) Systems.  The MOPV will provide two control functions, as a 4-port master MOPV and a 3-port service MOPV. The 4-port master MOPV will be used to initiate AFFF concentrate flow and firemain flow for mixing and disbursement to AFFF systems aboard ship. The 3-port MOPV serves as the local disbursement valve for either firemain flow or the AFFF mixture.  The MOPV specified herein shall be a 4-port valve with capability to function as a 3-port valve.

This requirement will be competed amongst small businesses that comply with the specifications.  The North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) Code is 332911; size standard 750.  A firm-fixed price (FFP) indefinite-delivery, indefinite-quantity (IDIQ) type contract is anticipated to result from the solicitation.  Interested Parties should refer to solicitation number N64498-17-R-5008.  It is the intention of the Navy to issue this RFP through electronic means only. This RFP shall be available upon issuance on or around 2 February 2017 at https://www.fbo.gov.  Contractors must be registered in the System for Award Management (SAM.gov). Any questions regarding this solicitation should be emailed to ashley.gayle@navy.mil or nicole.canfield@navy.mil.  No phone calls will be accepted.
