Procurement of Stem, Fluid Valve

The Department of the Navy Naval Supply Systems Command (NAVSUP) is procuring 18 units of a stem fluid valve component (NSN 1HM 4820-01-255-9663) designated as Level One Oxygen Clean material, which is classified as a critical safety item for shipboard systems. Contractors must demonstrate the capability to manufacture the component in strict accordance with Whitey drawing 1023, item 14, and comply with MIL-STD-1330 oxygen cleaning requirements along with comprehensive material traceability and certification documentation. The solicitation requires suppliers to maintain ISO-9001 quality system certification with ISO-10012 or ANSI-Z540.3 calibration compliance, provide quantitative chemical and mechanical analysis certifications for stem shank material (ASTM-B164, UNS alloy N04400 or N04405), ensure all internal threads are cut-formed rather than cold-formed with FED-STD-H28 thread inspection compliance, and submit welding procedure qualifications if applicable. The Request for Quotations (RFQ) was posted on April 14, 2026, with a quotation deadline of May 14, 2026, and evaluation will focus on the contractor's technical capability, quality assurance systems, and ability to meet the specialized oxygen-cleaning and material certification requirements. No specific evaluation criteria beyond technical compliance and quality system documentation have been outlined in the available solicitation materials.

This procurement carries no small business set-aside designation and will result in a bilateral contract designated as a "DO" rated order certified for national defense use under the Defense Priorities and Allocations System (DPAS). No incumbent contractor or award value has been identified in the solicitation notice. The contract requires delivery of all 18 units within 365 days from the contract effective date, with the finished goods to be shipped to Portsmouth Naval Shipyard (N50286) and inspected and accepted at the contractor's origin location. The place of performance is not explicitly restricted, allowing qualified domestic manufacturers to submit quotations. Contractors must submit all required material traceability and certification documentation via WAWF prior to shipment and demonstrate readiness to enter into a written bilateral agreement upon contract award.
