Inspection and Service of Motor Operated Valves onboard a T-AKE Vessel - Sole Source to OEM Valve Automation and Control

The Fleet Logistics Center Puget Sound is set to issue a firm-fixed-price purchase order specifically for inspection and service of motor operated valves on a T-AKE class vessel. This contract is sole sourced to Valve Automation and Control of San Diego due to the critical nature of the equipment involved, which supports the ship's fixed fire extinguishing systems considered as critical safety items. Only qualified suppliers designated by the Design Activity are authorized to perform this service, ensuring compliance with stringent safety and certification requirements. Although the procurement is sole source, other companies may express interest to potentially prompt a competitive process; however, the decision to proceed without competition rests solely with the government. The government will evaluate submitted offers focusing on price reasonableness and past performance to determine the responsibility of the offeror in accordance with relevant federal acquisition regulations. The solicitation is identified under number N0040626Q0163, posted in early May 2026, with a response deadline set for mid-May 2026 and an anticipated award date later that month. This contract falls under NAICS code 332911 and is managed by the Department of Defense’s Naval Supply Fleet Logistics Center in Puget Sound, Washington.
