Sole Source to Adams Air and Hydraulics Inc. for MNV Valve Packages

The Department of the Navy Naval Sea Systems Command seeks to award a firm fixed price purchase order to Adams Air and Hydraulics Incorporated to fabricate and test nine SLQ-48 MNV valve packages and provide supporting services. The Naval Surface Warfare Center Panama City Division requires the valve packages to support the Mine Neutralization System, with a period of performance of 16 weeks. As the original equipment manufacturer and sole qualified source with over six decades of experience manufacturing and repairing similar hydraulic valves, Adams Air and Hydraulics Incorporated is the only company that can accurately fabricate the parts to meet specifications for replacing obsolete valves within the limited space.

There is no set-aside designated for this non-competitive award, which is justified based on Adams Air and Hydraulics Incorporated's status as the sole qualified source under the authority of FAR 6.302-1. Place of performance will be P C Beach, Florida. The solicitation includes standard clauses for delivery, payment, reporting, trafficking in persons, and other mandatory flow-downs, with a proposal due date of May 25, 2023 and contract award to follow thereafter.
