The Department of Defense, specifically the Department of the Navy through NAVSUP Weapon Systems Support, is soliciting proposals for the manufacture of stack valve assemblies, classified as critical components for aircraft launching equipment. This procurement is a sole source requirement, necessitating government source approval prior to award, as the government lacks sufficient data to contract with any source other than the current approved supplier. The items are essential for crucial shipboard systems, and any defects could lead to severe consequences, including personnel injury or loss of aircraft. Interested parties must submit their proposals along with the required source approval documentation by the specified deadline, and for further inquiries, they can contact Alexis Healy at alexis.k.healy.civ@us.navy.mil or by phone at 215-697-1143.
