FIVE STAGE HPAC VALVE

This contract, solicitation number SPMYM226P5637, is a total small business set-aside award issued by DLA Maritime - Puget Sound for the procurement of two five-stage HPAC valve assembly sets (part number 3-140818-UE-VLVST). These components are critical maintenance parts for American Compressor Universal Hi-Pack Model 55H75 compressors used aboard Naval vessels to provide essential pier-side air for diver air certification and equipment safety. The place of performance and acceptance is located in Bremerton, Washington, with a required delivery date of May 12, 2026. The procurement is conducted as a sole-source acquisition under FAR 6.302-1 because the American Compressor Company is the only manufacturer capable of providing parts that meet the strict original equipment manufacturer specifications for machining dimensions, surface finishes, geometric tolerances, and material selection. Adherence to these OEM standards is mandatory to ensure exact form, fit, and function compatibility, as any deviations could lead to premature equipment failure, safety hazards to personnel, or the loss of critical diver air certification. Due to the proprietary nature of the technical data and the lack of interchangeable substitutes, the award is based on technical compliance and operational risk mitigation rather than competitive pricing.
