Valve, ball

The Department of the Navy Naval Supply Systems Command is seeking to procure 10 ball valves under NSN 7H-4820-013474366, TDP Version 009, with delivery FOB Origin. The procurement involves nonpowered valves classified under PSC 4820, with the government holding complete rights to technical data and no restrictions on technical data, engineering, tooling, or manufacturing. The opportunity is structured as a pre-solicitation notice posted on May 21, 2025, with a final due date of December 5, 2025. The government has indicated that based on market research, this acquisition will not utilize FAR Part 12 commercial item procedures, though interested parties may identify their capability to provide commercial alternatives within 15 days of the notice. The technical data package is complete and suitable for full and open competition, with A/RMCs 1 or 2 being valid for this procurement.

This opportunity is designated as a 100% small business set-aside under FAR clause 52.219-6, though the specific type of small business set-aside will be determined in the formal solicitation and may include HUBZone, Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned, Women-Owned Small Business, or Historically Black College and University categories. The procurement quantity is limited to 10 units, suggesting a relatively modest acquisition value, though no specific dollar amounts or budget ranges are provided in the pre-solicitation notice. No incumbent contractors or potential vendors are identified in the notice, and the timeline spans approximately six and a half months from the posting date to the final due date. The government's possession of complete technical data rights and the absence of manufacturing restrictions suggest this procurement is positioned for competitive bidding among qualified small business concerns.
