Valve, DIR control

The Department of the Navy Naval Supply Systems Command is seeking to procure nonpowered valves, specifically direct control valves identified by National Stock Number 7H-4820-014692668-Q5 (Technical Data Package Version 006). This pre-solicitation notice indicates that the Navy will be issuing a formal solicitation by December 11, 2025, for qualified suppliers to provide these components. The procurement will be delivered to Portsmouth Naval Shipyard in Kittery, Maine, which serves as the primary delivery location for this requirement. While specific evaluation criteria have not been detailed in this pre-solicitation notice, potential contractors should anticipate that proposals will be assessed based on standard federal procurement factors including price, technical capability, quality, and past performance. Interested parties should monitor for the full solicitation release and any applicable deadlines for submitting questions or clarifications regarding the government's requirements.

This procurement does not utilize any small business set-aside designations, meaning it is open to all eligible contractors regardless of size classification. No incumbent contractor or current supplier information has been disclosed in this pre-solicitation notice. The quantity requirement is 107 units of the specified valve assembly, providing prospective bidders with clear scope definition for proposal preparation and cost estimation. The specific budget range or estimated award value has not been disclosed at this stage; however, the combination of the relatively modest quantity and the specialized nature of naval shipyard components suggests a moderate-value procurement. Contractors should prepare their proposals and cost estimates accordingly, ensuring compliance with all applicable Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement (DFARS) requirements for sales to the Department of Defense, particularly given the military end-use and delivery to a naval facility.
