The Department of Defense, specifically the Department of the Navy through NAVSUP Weapon Systems Support Mechanics, is seeking to procure 16 units of a pilot valve, identified by NSN 7H-4820-014838611. This procurement is intended to negotiate with a single source under FAR 6.302-1, as the government has determined that it is uneconomical to reverse engineer the part or purchase the necessary data from additional sources. The pilot valve is critical for various defense applications, and interested parties are encouraged to express their interest and capability to meet the requirement, with proposals due within 45 days of the notice publication. For further inquiries, interested vendors can contact Alison N. Bruker at (717) 605-6447 or via email at ALISON.BRUKER@NAVY.MIL.
