16--VALVE,REGULATING SY

The Department of Defense, through the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Aviation at Philadelphia, PA, is seeking proposals for the procurement of 152 units of a regulating valve (NSN 7R-1680-015256162-V2) critical for flight applications. The procurement requires that the item be sourced from approved suppliers as specified in source control or selected item drawings, due to the lack of available technical data or manufacturing knowledge for alternative sources. This contract action is classified as a critical application item, and interested parties must submit their proposals along with necessary source approval documentation to Shantell Y. Lawrence at Shantell.Lawrence@dla.mil within 45 days of the notice, with the understanding that the government may proceed with award based on fleet support needs if new source approvals cannot be processed in time.
