Valve, check

The Defense Logistics Agency Land and Maritime has issued a pre-solicitation notice seeking manufacturer sources for various aircraft and hydraulic system components, with the primary focus on a check valve and related parts. The agency is requesting information about potential manufacturers who can produce nine specific items identified by National Stock Numbers (NSNs), including a fuel pump parts kit, preformed packing, check valve, pump screen, strainer element, mechanical housing, inlet strainer assembly, dehydrator unit, and hydraulic pump. All items are currently associated with CAGE code 51663 and have specific part numbers ranging from fuel system components to hydraulic pumps. The procurement falls under the Industrial Valve Manufacturing NAICS code 332911 and PSC category 4820 for Valves, Nonpowered. Interested parties must provide manufacturer location information, including city, state, or country, along with points of contact for these manufacturers, and submit all responses to Carlos Oquendo at carlos.oquendo@dla.mil by the October 22, 2025 deadline.

This opportunity does not include any set-aside designations, making it open to all eligible contractors. The notice does not identify any current incumbents or contractors, though all listed parts currently reference the same CAGE code 51663, suggesting a single existing supplier relationship. No specific award values, budget ranges, or quantities are mentioned in the pre-solicitation notice, as this appears to be an initial market research effort to identify potential sources. The timeline is compressed with only seven days between the posting date of October 15, 2025, and the response deadline of October 22, 2025. The variety of components requested, spanning from fuel system parts to hydraulic pumps, indicates this may be part of a larger aircraft maintenance or overhaul program. The agency's focus on manufacturer identification suggests they are conducting preliminary market research before issuing a formal solicitation for these critical aircraft components.
