Valve, regulating, SY

The Department of the Navy Naval Supply Systems Command is seeking to procure a regulating valve (NSN 7H-4820-015454062-L1) classified under the Valves, Nonpowered product service code category. This pre-solicitation notice indicates the agency's intent to acquire this component, which will be delivered to Portsmouth Naval Shipyard in Kittery, Maine. The procurement follows Technical Data Package version 009 specifications, ensuring compliance with established naval standards and requirements. While specific evaluation criteria are not detailed in this pre-solicitation notice, bidders should anticipate that proposals will be assessed based on technical compliance, pricing competitiveness, and demonstrated capability to meet naval supply chain requirements. The solicitation posting date of April 11, 2025, with a due date of November 25, 2025, provides potential contractors with approximately seven and a half months to prepare and submit responsive proposals.

This contract opportunity is designated as a Total Small Business set-aside, restricting competition to qualified small business concerns. The procurement calls for a quantity of 60 units to be delivered to the Portsmouth Naval Shipyard location. No incumbent contractor information or specific award value range is disclosed in this pre-solicitation notice, though the relatively modest quantity suggests a moderate contract value. The technical data package version 009 specification requirement indicates this is likely a replacement or maintenance component for existing naval systems rather than a new development effort. Interested small business contractors should monitor for the formal solicitation release and ensure their qualifications align with naval supply requirements and delivery specifications for the Portsmouth Naval Shipyard.
