48--VALVE, HULL/BACKUP
This is a Navy procurement for a 2-inch combination hull and backup ball valve used in a critical shipboard system, designated SPECIAL EMPHASIS (Level I/Scope of Certification) and governed by extensive NAVSEA drawings, material, testing, oxygen-cleaning, welding, and certification requirements. The acquisition is a total small business set-aside under Emergency Acquisition Flexibilities, will be DO-rated under DPAS, and will evaluate past performance. The contractor must have a valid U.S. security clearance of Confidential or higher because the requirement includes a Confidential-level annex, and all classified material must be handled under NISPOM. The resultant award will be issued bilaterally with the contractor's written acceptance and carries a one-year warranty from delivery. Offerors should comply with specified standards such as MIL-STD-1330 and contact Heather Jones with questions.
