VALVE, GATE

The solicitation SPE7MC-26-T-8931 seeks five gate valves with NSN 4810-01-505-8839 under the NAICS code 332911, issued by the Department of Defense’s DDSP New Cumberland Facility with a delivery requirement of 151 days ADO, resulting in an original delivery date of April 10, 2027. The contract is governed by FOB Origin terms and is part of the First Destination Transportation program, with delivery destined to an unspecified location requiring full compliance with DLA’s packaging and marking standards as outlined in RP001, ASTM D3951, and MIL-STD-129, with DLA’s Master List of Technical and Quality Requirements taking precedence over any conflicting standards. The valves must meet all applicable technical and quality criteria identified by R or I numbers from the DLA Master List, and any non-accepted supplies must have government identification removed. All offers must be submitted via the DLA Internet Bid Board System prior to May 7, 2026, and are explicitly labeled as requests for information rather than binding offers, though micro-purchase awards may occur before the deadline. The contract enforces stringent cybersecurity and data safeguarding requirements, mandating compliance with NIST SP 800-171 and DFARS 252.204-7012 for safeguarding covered defense information, including the obligation to grant the government access to facilities and systems for potential Medium or High assessments. Contractors must also comply with the Buy American Act and Berry Amendment, submit SAM-based representations such as DFARS 252.204-7016 for covered telecommunications equipment, and ensure no parts are manufactured using additive manufacturing unless specifically authorized. Packaging for hazardous materials must adhere to the Hazard Communication Standard, and all shipments must bear proper labeling per MIL-STD-129. Invoicing and payment require electronic use of the Wide Area WorkFlow system, with contractors registered in SAM and possessing a designated point of contact. The solicitation is not set aside for small businesses, and all offerors must be active in SAM with current size and socioeconomic representations. Technical data is accessible via the DLA Cfolders portal, and failure to comply with any clause—including those relating to whistleblower rights, information disclosure, cybersecurity incident reporting, and prohibited procurement of foreign telecommunications equipment—will result in disqualification.
