BUTTERFLY, VALVE, AIR

The Defense Logistics Agency awarded a firm-fixed-price contract to Aerometals, Inc. (CAGE 32664) for the supply of a butterfly valve, air (NSN 1660-00-605-1864), with a total contract value of $74,045.00. The award, issued under solicitation SPE4A7-26-T-2943 and contract number SPEA4726P2734, became effective on July 15, 2026, following a modification (P00001) that authorized a material variance to permit the use of NI-Resist Austenitic Gray Iron per ASTM A436 in place of the originally specified ASTM A439. This change was approved through a Product Acceptance Request (PAR Case ID#5467745) submitted by the contractor on June 15, 2026, and reflects a technical adjustment to meet performance requirements without altering the contract’s scope or introducing additional cost. The delivery date for the single line item was amended from May 18, 2027, to June 18, 2027, and early or partial deliveries are permissible at no extra cost. The contractor’s place of performance is in El Dorado Hills, California, while the government’s administering office is the Defense Contract Management Agency Mountain Pacific in Denver, Colorado. Payment is to be processed by the DLA Aviation office in Richmond, Virginia, and the contractor is obligated to deliver the item to the government’s designated receiving point, where acceptance will occur per government inspection authority. The procurement was conducted under NAICS code 332911 for industrial valve manufacturing, and while no explicit evaluation factors or socioeconomic certifications are documented, the small-dollar nature of the award and the administrative nature of the modification suggest a Lowest Price Technically Acceptable (LPTA) selection approach. No formal packaging, marking, invoicing, or special contract requirements such as security clearances or options are detailed in the available records. The contract administration is overseen by Contracting Officer Rashmi Rijal Pant, with no designated Contracting Officer’s Representative or Technical Representative identified. All administrative changes were executed under the authority of FAR 43.203(b), and no specific FAR 52.2-series clauses were explicitly referenced or incorporated.
