Quick Summary
The Department of the Navy / NAVSUP WEAPON SYSTEMS SUPPORT MECH is soliciting proposals for the manufacture and delivery of 6-inch Combination Hull and Backup Valves. This is a Total Small Business Set-Aside opportunity, requiring adherence to highly stringent quality and material specifications for critical shipboard systems. The deadline for proposals has been extended to June 29, 2026, at 4:30 PM EST.
Scope of Work
This solicitation is for the production of 6-inch Combination Hull and Backup Valves in accordance with NAVAL SHIP SYSTEMS COMMAND drawing 4687581 Assembly "IRAWT" (less actuator and operator), with specific amplifications and modifications. The material is designated as SPECIAL EMPHASIS material (Level I) due to its use in crucial shipboard systems where failure could result in serious injury, loss of life, or loss of the ship. Key requirements include:
- Supply of actuator-associated mounting parts in a bag.
- Specific material compositions for various parts (e.g., ASTM-B369, QQ-N-286, ASTM-B505, SAE-AMS-6931, Mearthane).
- Detailed testing certifications for Liquid Penetrant, Dye Penetrant, Weldability, Pressure Tests, and Quality Conformance.
- Radiography for specific components (Body, Item 1 and Cover, Item 3 of drawing 4687582).
- Special requirements for K-MONEL fasteners and Teflon coating of valve balls.
- Access to classified drawings is required, necessitating a facility clearance.
Quality Assurance & Traceability
Contractors must maintain a quality system in accordance with ISO-9001 (amplified herein) with calibration per ISO-10012 or ANSI-Z540.3 with ISO-17025. An alternate system per MIL-I-45208 with MIL-STD-45662 is acceptable. Traceability is paramount for Level I/SUBSAFE materials, requiring unique markings, comprehensive certification data (CDRLs DI-MISC-81020, DI-MISC-80678), and strict material control procedures. Welding procedures and qualifications must be submitted for approval, and radiography requires Navy acceptance of films and shooting sketches prior to shipment.
