Valve, linear, direct

The Department of the Navy Naval Supply Systems Command is seeking to procure a Linear Valve (NSN 7H-4810-011809802) with Technical Data Package Version 004, following Reference Number 52001-002. The procurement is intended to be a single-source contract under FAR 6.302-1 authority, indicating a specialized or unique requirement that limits competitive bidding. Potential vendors are invited to demonstrate their interest and capabilities within 45 days of the pre-solicitation notice's publication, with the government reserving full discretion to determine whether to proceed competitively. The delivery will be FOB Origin for a quantity of one (1) unit, and the government has determined that obtaining data rights or reverse engineering the part would be uneconomically feasible. Evaluation will primarily focus on vendors' ability to meet the specific technical requirements and provide the exact valve specifications.

There are no specific set-aside designations for this contract opportunity, suggesting it is open to all qualified vendors. The pre-solicitation was posted on February 1, 2025, with responses due by April 14, 2025, providing approximately 2.5 months for potential contractors to prepare their submissions. While specific award values are not disclosed, the procurement is for a single valve unit, which suggests a potentially limited contract value. The contract falls under the Product Service Code (PSC) 4810 for Powered Valves, indicating a specialized technical procurement within the naval supply logistics system. The government's approach suggests a targeted, precise acquisition with minimal flexibility for alternative solutions or competitive bidding.
