Thermostat,flow contr

The Defense Logistics Agency Aviation, through DLA office SPE4A5, is soliciting quotes for two each of flow control thermostats (NSN 6685-01-525-4423) under a HUBZone set-aside, with quotes due October 15, 2026, a date that has passed as of this summary. The notice is a Request for Quotations with Auto Evaluation solicitation type, and quotes must be submitted through DIBBS.

The requirement is FOB Origin with inspection and acceptance at destination, and delivery is to DLA Distribution San Joaquin in Tracy, California. Delivery is due within 256 days, with a need ship date of June 29, 2027 and an original required delivery date of October 31, 2027. Requirements include Buy American provisions under DFARS 252.225-7001, hazardous material identification and safety data, a prohibition on mercury in packaging and preservation, MIL-STD-2073-1E packaging, MIL-STD-129 marking, First Destination Transportation provisions requiring FOB Origin pricing, and a prohibition on covered defense telecommunications equipment. Technical and quality requirements appear in the DLA Technical and Quality Master List. Micro-purchase quotes may be awarded before the return date, and automated award is possible unless first article test requirements apply.

The notice states no award ceiling or evaluation weighting. The attached RFQ summary, which is derived and not authoritative, identifies Sauer Compressors USA, Inc. part number 035525 and reports prior awards to contractors 7MR60, 1V4T7, 3X5D2, 6RVM4, and 2U435 at unit costs of approximately $5,099 to $11,197. That summary also states the procurement is not a small business set-aside, which conflicts with the notice's HUBZone Set Aside line; the HUBZone designation governs eligibility.
