BODY, VALVE

Defense Logistics Agency Weapons Support Richmond awarded a firm-fixed-price delivery order, SPE4A526F0214, to Honeywell International Inc. on July 23, 2026, for a total price of $1,062,187.50. This contract, issued under delivery order SPE4A122G0014, is for the procurement of 75 valve bodies (NSN 4820013572431, Part Number 3161797-10). The acquisition was conducted as a sole-source procurement under the authority of 10 U.S.C. 3204(a)(1) because the original equipment manufacturer holds the proprietary technical data and refused to sell the data rights, making reverse engineering cost-prohibitive. A sources sought notice posted on June 23, 2025, yielded no interested parties. The contract is governed by proprietary Honeywell engineering specifications, and the government maintains responsibility for final inspection and acceptance based on conformance to the original design. Modification P00001 was subsequently issued to incorporate DoD Class Deviation 2026-00040, Revision 1, which adds FAR 52.222-90 prohibiting racially discriminatory diversity, equity, and inclusion activities by federal contractors. The award was managed by Contracting Officer Kizzy Brinkley and Competition Advocate Yolanda Calvin Maupin.
