Valve, linear, direct

The Naval Supply Systems Command is seeking to procure 6 units of a valve, linear, direct (NSN 7H-4810-011769748, TDP VER 003) under reference number 3189173-1 with delivery FOB origin. The Government intends to conduct a sole-source procurement under FAR 6.302-1 authority, as they do not own the data rights needed for competitive procurement and have determined it would be uneconomical to acquire the data rights or reverse engineer the part. While this is intended as a sole-source action, all responsible sources may submit proposals, quotations, or capability statements to demonstrate their interest and capability to fulfill the requirement. The Government will consider all responses received within 45 days of publication (or 30 days if award is made under an existing Basic Ordering Agreement) to determine whether to proceed with competitive procurement. The original posting date was March 22, 2025, with a due date of August 25, 2025.

This procurement does not utilize any set-aside designations and is open to all responsible sources. The specific quantity required is 6 each of the linear valve units, with delivery terms specified as FOB origin. No incumbent contractor or current service provider is mentioned in the notice, nor are any specific award values or budget ranges disclosed. The procurement falls under PSC category 4810 for Valves, Powered, indicating this is a specialized valve component likely for naval equipment or systems. The technical data package version is specified as 003, suggesting this is an established item with defined specifications, though the Government's lack of data rights creates the justification for the proposed sole-source approach.
