VALVE, BALL

The Defense Logistics Agency awarded contract SPE7MC24P2268 to HUNT VALVE COMPANY, INC. (CAGE 11859) on July 16, 2026, for the procurement of a ball valve identified by NSN 4820-01-499-9822. The procurement was executed under simplified acquisition procedures as defined by FAR 13.302(a), indicating a streamlined process typical for commercial off-the-shelf items. However, the contract’s sole line item, originally priced at $28,000 per unit for two units totaling $56,000, was fully canceled via unilateral modification P00002 due to the contractor’s failure to meet the February 5, 2026 delivery deadline, resulting in a current contract value of $0.00. The awarding office is DLA Land and Maritime, Maritime Supply Chain, with administrative oversight handled by DCMA Naval Special Emphasis Ops in Philadelphia, and the contracting officer is Ida Szulewski. No place of performance was formally designated beyond the contractor’s location in Salem, Ohio, and no payment, invoicing, or shipping terms were specified. The procurement lacked detailed specifications, quality standards, packaging requirements, or inspection criteria, and no socioeconomic status, size certification, or representation data was submitted or recorded. Administrative modifications were authorized under FAR 13.302(a) and FAR 43.103(b), with no contract clauses, evaluation factors, or special requirements documented beyond the cancellation. The absence of a defined delivery schedule, FOB terms, or accepted invoicing mechanism, along with no cited MIL-STD or technical specifications, suggests the transaction relied entirely on the NSN’s standard military definition and the contractor’s commercial capabilities, ultimately nullified by non-performance.
