About this opportunity
The Defense Logistics Agency Land and Maritime published this Limited/Sole Source Justification Notice for the procurement of 480 units of linear direct valves (NSN 4810-017062567, part number 285034-0004) used on Arleigh Burke Class DDG destroyers and other Navy Fleet ships. The justification restricts competition to Marotta Controls, Inc. (CAGE code 99657) under 10 U.S.C. 3204(a)(1), as they are the only manufacturer that retains the essential data for maintaining quality during production, and the Government lacks adequate technical data and rights to enable competition. The contract SPE7MC25C0003 was awarded to an unknown vendor on July 25, 2025, though the attached government file identifies Marotta Controls as the sole approved source. The estimated procurement value exceeds $2 million, requiring certified cost and pricing data under the Truth in Negotiations Act. Market research conducted in October 2024 included a sources sought notice posted on SAM.gov for seven days, which received responses from Marotta Controls and BHPE LLC, though BHPE was deemed unresponsive to additional information requests.
