About this opportunity
The Defense Logistics Agency Aviation is conducting a sources sought notice for NSN 4810-014545076, a solenoid valve component for FA-18 aircraft variants including A-D, E/F, and G (Growler) models. The agency is seeking to identify manufacturers capable of producing this specialized aircraft valve and requests that potential sources provide their manufacturing location (city and state) along with points of contact. Interested parties must be qualified manufacturers and are required to submit Source Approval Requests (SAR) through a specific security protocol using DoDSafe links due to internet safety concerns. To initiate this process, companies must email dlaavnsmallbus@dla.mil with the subject line "Request a SAR drop off" and include their CAGE code, the NSN, and preferred email address for receiving the secure link. The response deadline for this sources sought notice is September 23, 2025, with the original posting date of September 18, 2025.
This procurement does not utilize any set-aside designations and currently has one approved source: Northrop Grumman Systems (CAGE code 76823). The total quantity required is 23 units of the solenoid valve, classified under NAICS code 332911 for Industrial Valve Manufacturing and PSC code 4810 for Powered Valves. The notice emphasizes the security requirements for submission, requiring all SAR documents to be transmitted through the DoDSafe platform rather than standard email attachments. The agency appears to be conducting market research to potentially expand its approved supplier base beyond the current single source arrangement with Northrop Grumman Systems. The specialized nature of this component for military aircraft suggests this is likely a high-value, precision-manufactured item requiring significant technical capabilities and quality certifications.
