The Defense Logistics Agency Aviation is seeking to procure 75 valve bodies (NSN 4820013572431, Part Number 3161797-10) through a sole source acquisition under FAR 6.302. This critical safety item procurement will result in a firm fixed-price contract with delivery required 352 days after receipt of order to DLA Distribution Cherry Point, North Carolina. The only approved source for this material is Honeywell International (CAGE 59364), though other manufacturers may submit proposals if they provide a complete source approval package. The final contract award decision will be based on a combination of price, past performance, and other evaluation factors as described in the forthcoming solicitation. The solicitation is scheduled to be issued on August 15, 2025, with an anticipated closing date of September 26, 2025, and interested parties must contact the buyer directly at DLA Aviation in Richmond, Virginia to obtain a copy of the solicitation.

This procurement uses no set-aside designation and is classified as an unrestricted acquisition under the Industrial Valve Manufacturing NAICS code 332911. Honeywell International serves as the currently approved source and likely incumbent for this valve body requirement. The contract will cover exactly 75 units of the valve body component with a delivery timeline extending nearly one year from contract award. A Basic Ordering Agreement is already in place, which will facilitate the solicitation process through a letter format rather than the standard DLA-BSM Internet Bid Board System. The procurement involves FOB Origin terms with inspection and acceptance at the point of origin, and requires compliance with the Supplier Performance Risk System and Past Performance Information Retrieval System.
