About this opportunity
The Defense Logistics Agency Land and Maritime is conducting a pre-solicitation market research for safety relief valves (NSN 4820-01-538-6178), classified under NAICS Code 332911 for industrial valve manufacturing. This sources sought notice invites interested contractors to express manufacturing capability and supply interest prior to formal solicitation development. The government seeks to identify potential approved sources beyond the two currently qualified suppliers and is particularly interested in learning about companies' capacity to manufacture the valve to quality standards equal to or exceeding the original equipment manufacturer. Contractors wishing to qualify as approved sources must submit an application package through the DLA Land and Maritime Alternate Offer/Source Approval Request (SAR) Program, which requires comprehensive technical documentation demonstrating manufacturing capability. The pre-solicitation notice was posted on March 4, 2026, with a response deadline of March 10, 2026, allowing interested parties six days to provide information to the primary point of contact, Contract Specialist Mindy M Cook.
This pre-solicitation notice does not utilize a set-aside designation and identifies two currently approved sources: Northrop Grumman Systems Corporation (CAGE 26916, Part Number 029-002088-0002) and Brownell Ltd (CAGE K3649, Part Number BLD9397/02). The anticipated annual demand for this valve is estimated at 1,356 units with a standard delivery time of three days. The government is evaluating potential contract structures including an Indefinite Quantity Contract with an estimated three-year base period and optional renewal years, and suppliers are requested to provide quantity price breaks and minimum order requirements. The valve's AMC/AMSC rating of 3/D indicates it is suitable for competitive acquisition on a second or subsequent occurrence, though the technical data necessary for competitive solicitation is not economically available through standard channels. Interested contractors should submit responses and any recommendations regarding contract terms, pricing, and manufacturing capabilities within the specified deadline to be considered for future procurement activities.
