The document outlines the estimated quantities and pricing details for various types of linear and specialized valves, intended for procurement by the federal government over a five-year period. Each item is categorized by part number (e.g., A001, A002) and includes specific nomenclature, estimated quantities for minimum (MIN), target (TRGT), and maximum (MAX) annual requirements, as well as associated replacement prices. The focus is on ensuring a steady supply of essential components, with most items planned for gradual procurement, indicated by the target projections. Notably, certain valves, such as those for the tail rotor and pilot, show fluctuations in the expected quantities needed year by year, indicating variations in demand for specific applications. The document serves as a reference for government contracting related to these components, emphasizing structured budgeting for ongoing maintenance of equipment that relies on these valves.
The NAVSUP Weapons System Support (NAVSUP WSS) Philadelphia is planning to engage in a sole-source solicitation with Eaton (CAGE: 99643) for a 5-year repair Blanket Order Agreement (BOA) specifically for the H-53 support parts. Eaton is the Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) and the sole provider of necessary repair support, as the government does not possess the data or rights to procure these parts from alternative sources. Although proposals from responsible sources are welcomed, the government will not delay the procurement for Source Approval Requests from those not already qualified. The procurement will follow FAR Part 15 procedures, ignoring FAR Part 12 guidelines for commercial items. The solicitation is scheduled to be released on approximately October 10, 2024, with a response deadline around November 9, 2024. This notice does not constitute a request for competitive proposals; however, proposals received within 45 days of publication will be considered. The acquisition is not designated as a Total Small Business Set-Aside, and submissions must be sent electronically, with details directed to a specified contracting officer email.
