Quick Summary

The Department of the Navy, NAVSUP Weapon Systems Support Mech, has issued a Total Small Business Set-Aside solicitation for a Parts Kit for a 3-inch Ball Valve. This critical component is for a crucial shipboard system, designated as SPECIAL EMPHASIS material (Level I), where failure could lead to severe consequences. The solicitation is issued under Emergency Acquisition Flexibilities and will result in a "DO" rated order under DPAS. Proposals are due March 17, 2026.

Scope of Work

The requirement is for a parts kit for a 3-inch Ball Valve, specifically including:

One Ball, in accordance with NAVSEA Drawing 8617511, made from SAE-AMS-6931 or centrifugally cast 6AL-4V ASTM-B367 Grade C-5.
Two mating Seats, in accordance with NAVSEA Drawing 7285297, made from Delrin: Dupont AF DE588 (Teflon Filled Acetal) with specific material properties.
Manufacturing must adhere to Engineering Report 2640-801X1E1 and detailed specifications for spherical surface finish, waviness, and seat stack height measurement.

Quality Assurance & Compliance

This opportunity demands stringent quality control:

Quality System: Contractors must maintain a quality system compliant with ISO 9001 (or MIL-I-45208) and calibration system requirements of ISO 10012 (or MIL-STD-45662). Only sources with an acceptable Quality Assurance Manual are eligible.
Testing & Certification: Extensive testing is required, including hydrostatic tests for the ball (or dye penetrant inspection) and non-destructive tests for weld repairs. Certifications are required for chemical and mechanical analysis of materials, with specific requirements for metallic and non-metallic components.
Traceability: Strict material traceability is mandated from raw material to finished component, with unique traceability numbers, heat-lot numbers, or heat-treat numbers marked on materials.
Inspections: Includes receiving, final, and subcontractor inspections. Government Quality Assurance (GQA) will be performed at the source.
Documentation: All certification data (CDRLs) must be submitted to Portsmouth Naval Shipyard via WAWF (Wide Area Work Flow) for review and acceptance prior to shipment. Specific WAWF codes and email notification are provided.
