Valve, solenoid

The Defense Logistics Agency Land and Maritime is conducting market research for a potential procurement of solenoid valves (NSN 4810-01-281-6288) under a Firm Fixed Price contract. This pre-solicitation notice is intended strictly for informational and planning purposes to assess the availability and capability of qualified suppliers in the Industrial Valve Manufacturing sector (NAICS 332911). Interested vendors must complete the attached Market Research Questionnaire and submit it to Christina Choi at Christina.Choi@dla.mil by 4:00 p.m. EST on April 17, 2026. Suppliers should address comprehensive information including company details, business classification, pricing for various quantity breaks, production lead times, delivery capabilities, component cost drivers, testing capabilities, and willingness to perform First Article Testing or production lot testing if required. The Government will use responses to determine an appropriate acquisition method and has not yet issued a formal solicitation, meaning no proposals, proposal abstracts, or quotations are being solicited at this time. Vendors should be prepared to provide either Certified Cost or Pricing Data or other than CCPD documentation and must confirm acceptance of FOB Origin delivery terms.

This procurement carries no set-aside designation and is limited to Firm Fixed Price contracts. The estimated requirement is for 26 units of solenoid valves, with potential quantity options ranging from 1-20, 21-40, 41-60, and 61-80 units. The Government has identified three approved manufacturers: The Boeing Company (P/N DAA3221P002-105), Eaton Aerospace LLC (P/N 70187-1), and ES3 Prime Logistics Group Inc (P/N 70187-1). The applicable business size standard is 750 employees, and the procurement falls under PSC Category 4810 (Valves, Powered). While no specific budget range is disclosed in this pre-solicitation notice, the Government intends to solicit only from approved sources due to the lack of complete, unrestricted technical data in Government possession. This market research initiative does not constitute an obligation or commitment by the Government to award a contract.
