Valve, anti-drain

The Defense Logistics Agency Aviation is seeking to procure a valve, specifically an anti-drain valve, for aircraft engine and engine parts manufacturing. The contract opportunity, identified by the ID 9424b05e251e4ebda6eb1e56fb77b24b, is currently in the pre-solicitation phase and was posted on March 21, 2025, with a response deadline of April 7, 2025. The procurement falls under the NAICS category 336412 for Aircraft Engine and Engine Parts Manufacturing and the PSC category 2915 for Engine Fuel System Components. The contracting specialist, Melencio R. Linga, has noted that this contract action will not be fully synopsized due to meeting specific Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) exceptions, including an expected value below the simplified acquisition threshold and the ability for vendors to respond electronically through the Government Point of Entry (GPE).

The pre-solicitation notice indicates there is no specific set-aside for this contract, suggesting it is open to all qualified vendors. While specific award values are not disclosed in the current documentation, the procurement appears to be for a relatively small-scale acquisition given the simplified acquisition threshold exemption. The contract is specifically targeting a technical component within aircraft engine systems, specifically an anti-drain valve, which suggests a specialized procurement with potential implications for aerospace or defense equipment maintenance. The NAICS and PSC codes provide clear indication that this is a highly technical procurement focused on precise engineering components for aircraft propulsion systems. The electronic response mechanism and short timeline between posting and response deadline (approximately two weeks) suggest the agency is seeking an expedited procurement process for this specific valve component.
