Quick Summary
The Department of the Navy, NAVSUP Weapon Systems Support Mechanicsburg, has issued a presolicitation/amendment for a VALVE ASSY 4W,2POS. This opportunity details stringent technical, quality, and traceability requirements for a crucial shipboard system, designated as SPECIAL EMPHASIS material (Level I, Scope of Certification, or Quality Assured). This is a "DO" rated order under the Defense Priorities and Allocations System (DPAS) and is issued pursuant to Emergency Acquisition Flexibilities (EAF). Responses are due by June 25, 2026.
Scope of Work
The requirement is for a complete valve assembly in accordance with Marotta drawing 285151-0001. Due to the critical nature of the material, which could lead to serious personnel injury or loss of the ship, special control procedures are invoked. Key aspects include:
- Material Certification: Quantitative chemical and mechanical analysis and certification for specific parts (Body, Fitting, Retainer, Poppet) to standards like SAE AMS-QQ-S-763, CRES 300 Series, QQ-N-281, and SAE AMS 5659.
- Extensive Testing: Required certifications for Intergranular Corrosion, Non-Destructive Tests, Proof Test (MIL-V-24232), and Leakage/Functional Tests (MIL-V-24232), with detailed pressure and test time tolerances.
- Manufacturing Standards: Adherence to FED-STD-H28 series for thread inspection (internal threads must be cut), GAC standard for O-ring grooves, and specific welding/brazing procedures (S9074-AR-GIB-010A/278, 0900-LP-001-7000, S9074-AQ-GIB-010/248).
- Configuration Control: Maintenance of total equipment baseline, submission of Waivers/Deviations, and Engineering Change Proposals (ECPs) for Class I or II changes.
Quality Assurance & Documentation
Contractors must provide and maintain a quality system in accordance with ISO-9001 (with ISO-10012 or ANSI-Z540.3 with ISO-17025) or MIL-I-45208 (with MIL-STD-45662). Government Quality Assurance (GQA) at the source is required, necessitating notification to DCMA.
- Traceability: Strict traceability and certification requirements for Level I/SUBSAFE systems, including unique traceability numbers and material marking per MIL-STD-792.
- Certificates of Compliance: Required for SPECIAL EMPHASIS MATERIAL and weld filler metals.
- Submission: Certification data, including Test Certifications (CDRL DI-MISC-80678) and Inspection System Procedures (CDRL DI-QCIC-81110), must be submitted via Wide Area Work Flow (WAWF) to Portsmouth Naval Shipyard (DODAAC N50286). No material is to be shipped prior to acceptance.
