About this opportunity

The Department of the Navy Naval Supply Systems Command is seeking to procure Parts Kit, Ball Valve components through a competitive solicitation targeting small businesses. The contract requires manufacturing and delivery of ball valve parts meeting specific technical specifications, including stringent surface finish requirements for valve ball spherical surfaces, with detailed processing instructions involving precision machining, grinding, and polishing techniques. Contractors must comply with multiple military standards including MIL-STD-130 for marking, MIL-STD-973 for configuration control, and either MIL-I-45208 or ISO 9001 for quality inspection. Potential vendors must be authorized distributors of the original manufacturer's items and provide proof of distribution authorization on company letterhead. The solicitation is posted until September 16, 2024, with a requested delivery timeline of 240 days after contract award.

This procurement is a 100% small business set-aside under Emergency Acquisition Flexibilities, with electronic invoicing and receiving required through the PIEE-WAWF system. While specific award value is not explicitly stated, the contract involves manufacturing precision ball valve components for naval submarine and surface ship applications, with critical requirements including zero mercury contamination and strict surface finishing specifications. The manufacturing will be subject to government inspection, with contractors responsible for maintaining comprehensive quality records for four years after final delivery. Production will involve multiple technical drawings including 2324T-M-0043, 255582, 255584, and others, with specific configuration control protocols. The place of material inspection and packaging acceptance will be determined during the contract execution process, with potential performance locations likely involving naval manufacturing and logistics facilities.

3. REQUIREMENTS

3.1 Design, Manufacture, and Performance - Except as modified herein,

the PARTS KIT,BALL VALV furnished under this contract/purchase order shall meet the

design, manufacture, and performance requirements specified on drawing ;255582 PC 60 255584 PC 20;

cage ;53711; .

3.2 Marking - This item shall be physically identified in accordance with MIL-STD-130.

3.3 Configuration Control - MIL-STD-973 entitled "Configuration Management", Paragraph 5.4.8, Configuration Control (Short Form Procedure), is hereby incorporated. The Contractor shall submit all Engineering Change Proposals in accordance with MIL-STD-973,

Paragraph 5.4.8.2 and Appendix D. Requests for Deviations shall be processed in accordance with MIL-STD-973, Paragraph 5.4.8.3 and Appendix E. Requests for Waivers shall be processed in accordance with MIL-STD-973, Paragraph 5.4.8.4 and Appendix E. (Original

and two copies shall be submitted to Contracting Officer, NAVICP-MECH, P. O. Box 2020, Mechanicsburg Pa. 17055-0788.)

3.3.1 Configuration Control - When the Contractor has received authorization on a prior contract for the same NSN for the use of a drawing of a later revision status, that authorization is hereby extended to all succeeding contracts/purchase orders until

another drawing revision is approved. The Contractor will notify the PCO of this occurrence in each instance, in the response to the solicitation. Such notification shall be in writing setting forth the contract under which the prior authorization was granted,

the date of the granting of the authorization, and the name of the granting authority.

Contractors shall also refer technical inquiries (other than those covered by MIL-STD-973) on company letterhead signed by a responsible company official, with copies distributed as stated below.

The original and two copies of all Contractor generated correspondence regarding configuration shall be submitted to Contracting Officer, NAVICP-MECH, P.O. Box 2020, Mechanicsburg, PA 17055-0788.

Contractors are cautioned that implementing engineering changes, waivers, deviations or technical inquiries into the contract/purchase order without approval of the Contracting Officer will be at the sole risk of the Contractor.

3.4 Mercury Free - The material supplied under this contract/purchase order is intended for use on submarines/surface ships and therefore shall contain no metallic mercury and shall be free from mercury contamination. Mercury contamination of the material

will be cause for rejection.

If the inclusion of metallic mercury is required as a functional part of the material furnished under this contract, the Contractor shall obtain written approval from the Procurement Contracting Officer before proceeding with manufacture. The

contractor's request shall explain in detail the requirements for mercury, identify specifically the parts to contain mercury, and explain the method of protection against mercury escape. Such a request will be forwarded directly to the Procurement Contracting

Officer with a copy to the applicable Government Inspector. Upon approval by the Contracting Officer, the vendor will provide a "Warning Plate" stating that metallic mercury is a functional part of the item and will include name and location of that part.

The use of mercury, mercury compounds, or mercury-bearing instruments and/or equipment in a manner which might cause contamination in the manufacture, assembly, or test of material on this contract is prohibited. The most probable causes of

contamination are direct-connected manometers, mercury vacuum pumps, mercury seals, or the handling of mercury in the immediate vicinity. Mercury switches, mercury in glass thermometers, standard cells and other items containing mercury may be used if they are

located so as not to constitute a contamination hazard.

If external contamination by metallic mercury occurs or is suspected, the following test may be used to determine whether contamination by metallic mercury exists or whether corrective cleaning measures have been effective. Enclose the equipment in a

polyethylene bag or close-fitting airtight container for eight hours at room temperature (70 degrees F minimum).Sample the trapped air and if mercury vapor concentration is 0.01 mg/cu meter or more, the material is mercury contaminated insofar as the

requirements of this contract are concerned.

These requirements shall be included in any subcontract or purchase order hereunder and the Contractor shall insure SubContractor compliance with these requirements.

Technical questions pertaining to these requirements shall be referred to the Procurement Contracting Officer via the cognizant Administrative Contracting Officer. For background, the following information is provided:

Mercury is corrosive to gold, silver, nickel, stainless steels, aluminum and copper alloys. Stainless steels, nickel, and copper alloys are widely used in reactor plants and other submarine/surface ship systems. Accidental trapping of mercury in a

component could cause serious damage to vital parts. Mercury is also toxic if inhaled, ingested, or absorbed through the skin. It is evident that grave consequences could result from small amounts of mercury vapor present in an unreplenished submarine/surface

ship atmosphere.

3.5 ;"Ball Spherical Surface Finish - Spherical surfaces of valve balls shall be

finished as follows:

Machine finish spherical surfaces of the valve ball to between 30 and

35 RHR; use lubricant. Grind, hone, or cup polish to 16 RHR maximum;

use lubricant (light oil or soap solution). Grit blast with glass bead

media (MIL-PRF-9954-MIL 10); use a 3/16 inch ID blasting nozzle (not

supersonic type) 4 inches from ball at 75 PSI air pressure. The resulting

surface finish should be less than 25 RHR. Perform final polish with

SUPFINA Polishing Paste (Pink polishing paste, item code 10100244,

Supfina Machine Company, North Kingstown, RI). Apply the SUPFINA

Polishing Paste that is initially light pink in color over the entire surface

of the ball with a brush and perform a low speed finishing process with

both the ball and a .250" thick wool pad (Style 22110, Aetna Felt

Corporation, Allentown, PA^) turning at the same time with light pressure

for approximately 30 seconds^^ (3 revolutions) of the entire surface of

the ball. Once the light pink SUPFINA polishing paste that was applied to

the surface of the ball turns a grey color, the final finishing process is

complete. After the final finishing process is complete, the surface of the

ball should have a matte dull appearance with a surface finish between

RHR 12 and RHR 16.

Clean ball with a warm, alkaline solution or a liquid nonionic detergent to

remove SUPFINA polishing paste.

^ Reference customer number PLI00499 when ordering wool pad.

^^ CAUTION: Excessive time will cause the ball to be polished in violation of

the process.";
