The U.S. Navy’s Fleet Logistics Center Puget Sound is proceeding with a sole source procurement for a Valve Body, part number 178654-0011, manufactured by Marotta Controls Inc., due to the part’s unique fit, function, and exclusive intellectual property ownership by the original equipment manufacturer, which is required to maintain compatibility with existing equipment and referenced in official technical documentation. This requirement, issued under solicitation number N0040626Q0274 as a Request for Quote, is categorized under NAICS Code 332911 and does not utilize any small business set-asides. Although the procurement is designated as sole source, interested parties may submit responses to demonstrate capability, which the Government will consider exclusively to determine if competitive procedures are warranted, with the final decision resting solely with the Government. The anticipated award date is July 2026, with delivery due on or before August 3, 2026, to the U.S. military facility in Yokosuka, Japan, under FOB Origin terms with the Government covering all transportation costs through the NAVSUP WSS Shipment Processing office. Offerors must be registered in the System for Award Management, provide their CAGE code, company size, and contact information, and must fully comply with all solicitation terms; failure to quote the entire requirement or to list any exceptions will render the submission unacceptable. The Government will evaluate price reasonableness and past performance as part of the responsibility determination, and award will be made to the offeror determined to be in the best interest of the government. The contract will be firm-fixed-price and incorporate standard and customized Federal Acquisition Regulation clauses, including mandatory compliance with Vendor Threat Mitigation policies, cybersecurity controls under DFARS 252.204-7008, prohibitions on contracting with inverted domestic corporations, and requirements for electronic invoicing via Wide Area WorkFlow.
