Supply of 8” Bray S43-066/A445 Valve with S-135U-S080 Actuator (Fail CLOSED)

The contract requires the supply of a single 8-inch Bray S43-066/A445 high-pressure water valve equipped with an S-135U-S080 actuator, specifically configured to fail in the closed position to ensure safety and system integrity under failure conditions. The valve must fully comply with NASA’s stringent interchangeability and performance standards, ensuring it can be seamlessly integrated into existing NASA systems without modification or compatibility issues. This procurement is strictly for a single unit, but adherence to technical specifications and reliability benchmarks is non-negotiable given the critical nature of NASA’s operational environments. This subcontract is set aside exclusively for small businesses under the SBA’s Total Small Business Set-Aside program, as defined by FAR 19.5, and falls under NAICS code 332913 for other fabricated metal product manufacturing. The opportunity was posted on July 6, 2026, with responses due by July 13, 2026, at 6:00 PM Eastern Time. The contracting activity is managed by the NASA Shared Services Center on behalf of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration, though no specific place of performance or point of contact details are provided. All work must be completed and delivered in accordance with NASA’s quality and compliance protocols, with no tolerance for deviation from the specified valve model or its fail-closed configuration.
