The Defense Logistics Agency Land and Maritime is conducting market research to identify qualified manufacturers for NSN 4820-004078372, a Safety Relief Valve to be manufactured in accordance with MIL-V-8813(2) Revision 2 (dated 11/07/2023). This pre-solicitation notice is not a Request for Proposal but rather seeks to identify potential sources capable of manufacturing the item and interested in quoting a forthcoming solicitation. Key requirements include QPL/QML qualification, which is mandatory for this procurement, and submission of a complete data package including specifications for both approved and alternate parts for evaluation. The agency will evaluate responses based on the information provided in the Market Research Questionnaire, which solicits comprehensive supplier information including company size, small business status, manufacturing capability, SAM registration, pricing structures, delivery capabilities, and GSA Schedule availability. All interested parties must submit the completed Market Research Questionnaire to Contract Specialist Tiffany Scott at Tiffany.Scott@dla.mil no later than March 20, 2026, with an extended questionnaire deadline of March 23, 2026.

This procurement is not designated as a set-aside. The solicitation will cover 16 units as the base quantity, with pricing evaluation extending to 100% quantity options using either pre-negotiated pricing or Economic Price Adjustment based on the Producer Price Index. Currently approved manufacturers include sources producing parts MS28893-D12 and MS28893D12-3850, though specific incumbent contractor names are not disclosed in this pre-solicitation notice. The DLA is considering issuing a fixed-price solicitation based on market research responses, with potential applicability of certified Cost or Pricing Data requirements if the contract value exceeds $2,000,000. The questionnaire also addresses delivery capabilities including both standard and expedited options, inspection acceptance locations, hazardous material disclosures, and packaging compliance requirements in accordance with ASTM D3951 and MIL-STD-129 standards.
