VALVE,BALL
This Navy procurement is a total small business set-aside for manufacturing critical shipboard valve components—such as a compartment salvage ball valve, deck fitting nipple, and cap assembly—designated as SPECIAL EMPHASIS Level I material due to potential safety and mission impacts. The contractor must follow detailed NAVSHIPS drawings and meet extensive quality requirements, including material certifications, chemical/mechanical analysis, non-destructive testing, pressure tests, and weld procedure approvals. The resulting contract will be a DO/DX rated order under the Defense Priorities and Allocations System and will be issued bilaterally, requiring the contractor’s written acceptance. A one-year warranty of supplies from date of delivery applies, and the contractor must maintain configuration control, obtain approval for waivers/deviations, and add a specific CID number on identification plates. Access to drawings requires a request through SAM.gov, and past performance will be considered in the evaluation.
