The Department of Defense, specifically the Department of the Navy through NAVSUP Weapon Systems Support MECH, is seeking to procure three units of a linear direct valve, identified by NSN 7H-4820-014192541. The procurement is based on a sole-source justification, as the Government does not possess the data or rights necessary to purchase or contract repair of this part from other sources, and it has been deemed uneconomical to reverse engineer the item. This valve is critical for various defense applications, and the Government intends to solicit and negotiate with only one source under FAR 6.302-1. Interested parties are encouraged to express their interest and capability within 45 days of this notice, with all proposals considered for the purpose of determining whether to conduct a competitive procurement. For further inquiries, contact Robert Langel at (717) 605-3353 or via email at ROBERT.H.LANGEL.CIV@US.NAVY.MIL.
