Quick Summary
The Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Aviation at Philadelphia, PA has issued a Presolicitation for a VALVE, GATE (NSN 7R-4810-124018527-P8, REF NR 21230-10BA). This requirement is for one (1) unit, with delivery FOB Origin. This is a commercial, non-developmental, off-the-shelf item that mandates Government source approval prior to contract award. This is due to the item being flight critical and/or the technical data not being adequate to support acquisition via full and open competition. Only sources previously approved by the Government for this item have been solicited.
Scope of Requirement
The opportunity is for the procurement of a single gate valve, identified by NSN 7R-4810-124018527-P8 and Reference Number 21230-10BA. This item falls under Product Service Code 4810 (Valves, Powered). Delivery terms are specified as FOB Origin.
Source Approval Requirements
Companies not currently approved sources for this item must submit, along with their proposal, the information detailed in one of the NAVSUP Weapon Systems Support (NAVSUP WSS) Source Approval Information Brochures. These brochures are available for Spares and Repair via the NAVSUP WSS Business Opportunities links provided in the original notice. Offers that fail to provide all required data from the Source Approval Brochure, or documentation of previous submission, will not be considered for award. If a request for source approval is currently being evaluated at NAVSUP WSS, a copy of the cover letter forwarding that request must be submitted with the offer. The time required for new source approval typically prevents delaying an award. However, award may proceed based on Fleet support needs if source approval cannot be processed in time or approval requirements preclude obtaining items promptly. The NAVSUP WSS Commercial Item Identification Brochure is also available for reference.
