Valve, globe

The Department of the Navy Naval Supply Systems Command is seeking to procure 17 each globe valves under NSN 3H-4820-015437373-L1, TDP VER 007, with delivery FOB origin. The agency has determined this will be a sole source procurement under FAR 6.302-1 authority, as the government does not own the data or rights to the data needed to purchase or contract repair of this part from additional sources, and it has been deemed uneconomical to buy the data rights or reverse engineer the part. While the government intends to solicit and negotiate with only one source, all responsible sources may identify their interest and capability to respond to the requirement or submit proposals, quotations, or capability statements. All proposals received within 45 days of the publication date (30 days if award is issued under an existing Basic Ordering Agreement) will be considered by the government. The synopsis was posted on June 28, 2025, with a due date of July 29, 2025.

This procurement does not utilize any set-aside designations and is open to all sources despite the intended sole source approach. The contract involves a quantity of 17 valve units categorized under PSC 4820 for nonpowered valves. No specific incumbent contractor or potential award values are identified in the notice. The government reserves sole discretion in determining whether to conduct a competitive procurement based on responses received to this notice, and information received will normally be considered solely for the purpose of making this determination. The notice explicitly states it is not a request for competitive proposals, though interested parties have the opportunity to demonstrate their capabilities within the specified timeframe.
