Valve Assembly

The U.S. Department of Defense, through the Defense Logistics Agency Aviation at Tinker Air Force Base, Oklahoma, is seeking to procure a single valve assembly with NSN 2915-01-18-94205PN and part number 215370-1 under solicitation SPRTA1-26-Q-0854. This is a non-competitive acquisition justified under FAR 6.302 due to the item being available only from a single approved source, Eaton Corporation (CAGE 59875), and no other supply will meet the Government’s requirements. The requirement is for five units with a requested delivery on or before March 13, 2028, to destination SW3211. The valve assembly is classified as a critical safety item, and while first articles and qualification requirements are not needed, the purchase history shows a prior single-unit award to Eaton in 2011 at a unit price of $4,142.00. The acquisition is not set aside for small businesses, is not export controlled, and surplus authorization is not permitted. The solicitation will be conducted electronically via www.fbo.gov with no hard copies distributed, and responses must be submitted by July 25, 2026. While price is a key evaluation factor, the final award may also consider technical merit and past performance. The Government’s obligation is contingent upon the availability of appropriated funds, with no legal liability incurred until funds are officially confirmed. Although this is a sole-source action, any responsible source may submit a capability statement within 45 days of this notice for consideration, though no obligation to compete is guaranteed. An ombudsman is appointed to receive contractor concerns confidentially during the proposal phase, and questions should be directed to Jayson Skalla at jayson.skalla@us.af.mil. The item falls under NAICS code 336412 and is part of a military or space-related application, with foreign participation restrictions subject to further determination.
