Valve, Safety Relief

The Defense Logistics Agency Land and Maritime is conducting market research to identify manufacturers capable of producing Valve, Safety Relief units (NSN 4820-01-493-7731). This pre-solicitation notice seeks information from potential suppliers interested in quoting on a future solicitation for this industrial valve product under NAICS code 332911. Key requirements include that alternate offerors must provide a complete data package with specifications for both the approved and alternate parts for government evaluation, and suppliers must demonstrate their manufacturing capabilities and willingness to quote. The government will use responses to determine whether to proceed under commercial procurement procedures (FAR Part 12) or non-commercial procedures (FAR Part 15), and whether certified Cost or Pricing Data will be required if the total contract value exceeds $2,000,000. All interested parties must submit their responses using the attached Market Research Questionnaire by March 2, 2026, directed to Contract Specialist Lorie Huff at lorie.huff@dla.mil or 614-692-7267.

This opportunity carries no set-aside designation and currently lists Emerson Automation Solutions (Part Number 111099009) as the approved source for this requirement. The government anticipates procuring 27 units of the valve under a fixed-price contract. Potential suppliers should be prepared to provide detailed pricing information with quantity breaks for quantities ranging from 1 to 75 units, delivery lead times, packaging and FOB point requirements, and technical data including hazardous materials content and inspection procedures. While no specific budget ceiling is disclosed in the notice, the government's reference to the $2,000,000 threshold for certified Cost or Pricing Data suggests the potential contract value could approach that range, though the relatively modest quantity of 27 units may result in a lower total award value.
