AI Contract Overview
The contract solicitation, identified by number CM26124001, seeks qualified suppliers for the procurement of a Valve, Check with NSN 4820-01-145-5907 and part number 458-50004-503, governed by Source Controlled Drawing NR 82918, Revision J dated September 26, 1986. Only two approved manufacturing sources are currently recognized: Meggitt North Hollywood (CAGE 79318) and Bahr Machine Company (CAGE 75201), and any proposed substitute must meet the exact technical and quality standards of the approved item. The acquisition is governed under AMSC 1B, indicating that the item is source-controlled due to the absence of adequate technical data, Government data rights, or manufacturing knowledge necessary to qualify alternative sources or conduct competitive qualification testing. This restriction limits procurement to the current approved manufacturers unless a new supplier successfully qualifies through the DLA Weapons Support Alternate Offer/Source Approval Request (SAR) program, which requires comprehensive documentation proving technical equivalence or superiority to the original equipment manufacturer’s product. The acquisition is structured as an Indefinite Delivery Contract with a three-year base period and up to four one-year option periods, creating a potential total performance window of seven years. The Government intends to establish a long-term supply arrangement that includes guaranteed minimum order volumes between 1% and 10% of annual forecasted demand, with respondents required to submit their delivery lead times, maximum and minimum order capacities, and evidence that the valve qualifies as a commercial item under FAR 12. Responses must include technical documentation such as drawings, bills of materials, commercial sales history, and product literature to support commerciality claims. All submissions must be provided to Contract Specialist Karin Wilson at DLA Weapons Support in Columbus, Ohio, no later than June 10, 2026, via email. While no formal pricing data, delivery terms, FOB conditions, or inspection locations are defined in the solicitation, the contract administration will be managed by DLA, with invoices likely processed through WAWF, and no Contracting Officer’s Technical Representative has been designated. The procurement is not set aside for any socioeconomic category, and responses are evaluated on technical compliance, source qualification, delivery capability, and commercial item substantiation.
