Valve, gate

The Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Maritime Mechanicsburg is seeking sources capable of supplying gate valves (NSN 7HH 4820, Part Number 014002217) through this pre-solicitation sources sought notice. The approved design is manufactured by FLOWSERVE US INC (CAGE 5XH59), and any non-OEM suppliers must provide complete traceability information demonstrating material origin back to the original equipment manufacturer when submitting their response or face potential non-responsiveness. Interested sources are required to complete and submit a detailed market survey that requests information regarding item availability, commercial status, pricing, delivery schedules, inventory capabilities, company size, and manufacturing capabilities. The government will use responses to inform a future formal solicitation and will evaluate suppliers based on their ability to meet supply requirements, provide competitive pricing, maintain inventory, and demonstrate manufacturing capability. The deadline for completing and returning the market survey is 2:00 PM EST on March 21, 2026, via email to Brendan.1.Heasley@dla.mil.

This notice does not designate any set-aside for small businesses or other special categories, and it represents an informational announcement only with no commitment by the government to award a contract. The requirement is for seven units of the gate valve with the approved design being from FLOWSERVE US INC, though the government is actively seeking alternative sources and their supply capabilities. No specific award value or budget range is disclosed in this pre-solicitation notice. Respondents should note that this is not a request for proposal, no funds are available for response preparation costs, and any information submitted is strictly voluntary. The market survey will provide the government with critical information such as delivery timelines, minimum order quantities, pricing structures, and workforce capacity to inform the eventual formal solicitation for this requirement.
