Solicitation # SPRTA1-26-R-0051
The contract solicitation SPRTA1-26-R-0051 seeks 36 units of a Valve, Linear, Direct, identified by NSN 4810-00-601-1884 and part number 1009650-1, for use on KC-135 aircraft. The valve is a hydraulic pressure shut-off device operated by a 28-volt, 3-port solenoid, designed to handle up to 3000 psi, constructed of aluminum, measuring 5.032 inches in length, 2.7 inches in width, and 5.9 inches in height, and weighing 3.0 pounds. Deliveries are scheduled in six installments between September 29, 2026, and February 28, 2027, with all units to be shipped to Tinker AFB, Oklahoma. Unique Identification (UID) requirements apply, with contractors responsible for applying UID markings in accordance with MIL-STD-130 and international standards, using Construct 2 format containing the issuing agency code, CAGE code, original part number, and serial number, without compromising item integrity. Although qualification requirements are not applicable and export controls do not apply, the Government does not own the manufacturing data or associated rights, and interested firms are directed to contact the original equipment manufacturer. Qualified sources include Honeywell International Inc, Moog, Inc., and Ontic Engineering & Manufacturing. This procurement is not set aside and is being conducted under FAR 6.302 due to the limited number of responsible sources capable of fulfilling the requirement, with all responsible firms invited to submit proposals. Evaluation will consider price as a significant factor alongside past performance, though specific weights are not detailed. The contract is contingent upon the availability of appropriated funds, and no liability is incurred until written notification of funding is provided. Submission deadlines have been extended to May 20, 2026, and all proposals must acknowledge receipt of amendments to avoid rejection. Electronic submission via SAM.gov is mandatory, and inquiries should be directed to Chrissy Turnage. An Ombudsman is available to address contractor concerns during proposal development, with strict confidentiality maintained. Foreign-owned firms are advised to consult the contracting officer prior to submission to determine any award restrictions, and small businesses are encouraged to explore subcontracting opportunities with the listed qualified sources.
