About this opportunity
The 7th Contracting Squadron at Dyess Air Force Base, Texas, issued a notice of intent on August 24, 2026, to award a firm-fixed-price, sole-source contract to Cla-Val for maintenance, diagnostics, and repair of proprietary Cla-Val Series 210 Altitude Control Valves at the installation's Main Water Plant. The contracting office invites capability statements from interested parties within 15 calendar days (due September 7, 2026) to demonstrate whether they can meet the requirements, though the Government reserves sole discretion to determine whether to conduct a competitive procurement.
The sole-source authority rests on FAR 6.302-1: Cla-Val is the Original Equipment Manufacturer and the only source with access to proprietary engineering data, factory specifications, and genuine OEM parts required to restore the 10-inch and 12-inch valves to original operating standards. Cla-Val's Field Service Technicians hold exclusive "Blue Seal Certification" for warranty-authorized repairs; any other service provider would void the manufacturer's warranty and jeopardize the integrity of the installation's critical water control systems. Market research confirmed no alternative sources meet the required standards and the requirement is unlikely to become competitive in the future. The contractor must provide all labor, equipment, and OEM replacement parts. Contact TSgt Marshal Khinno (marshal.khinno@us.af.mil) or Traci Hughes (traci.hughes.1@us.af.mil).
Notice text
Notice of Intent to award a firm-fixed-price, sole-source contract to Cla-Val for the repair of proprietary altitude valves.
The 7th Contracting Squadron at Dyess Air Force Base, TX, intends to award a sole-source contract to Cla-Val, 1701 Placentia Ave, Costa Mesa, CA 92627, for the maintenance, diagnostics, and repair of a Cla-Val Series 210 Altitude Control Valve.
Justification for Sole Source:
The statutory authority for this non-competitive action isRFO 6.302-1, "Only one responsible source and no other supplies or services will satisfy agency requirements."
Cla-Val is the Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) for the Series 210 Altitude Control Valves. Cla-Val is the only source with access to the proprietary engineering data, factory specifications, and genuine OEM parts necessary to ensure the valves are restored to their original operating standards. Furthermore, Cla-Val's Field Service Technicians are the only "Blue Seal Certified" technicians authorized to perform warranty-related repairs. The use of any other source would void the manufacturer's warranty and pose an unacceptable risk to the performance and integrity of the installation's critical water control systems.
Public Response:
This notice of intent is not a request for competitive proposals. However, all interested parties who believe they can meet the requirements are invited to submit, in writing, a capability statement to the contracting office within 15 calendar days from the date of this publication. A determination by the Government not to compete this proposed contract based upon responses to this notice is solely within the discretion of the Government. Information received will be considered solely for the purpose of determining whether to conduct a competitive procurement.
