W912CH-25-Q-0015 for Airflow Valve; NSN: 4240-01-055-1493

The Army Contracting Command – Detroit Arsenal is conducting market research to assess industry interest and capability for the production of a military-unique Airflow Valve identified by NSN 4240-01-055-1493 and part number 5-19-6136. This effort, conducted under solicitation W912CH-25-Q-0015, is a Sources Sought Notice designed to gather information from both small and large businesses to inform potential future procurement decisions. Responses are required through a detailed survey to be submitted via email to George Campbell by 12:00 p.m. EST on May 27, 2026, with a designated subject line and supporting documentation limited to Word or PDF formats. Vendors must disclose their production capacity, lead times, monthly output, and experience with First Article Testing (FAT), which is mandatory for the component. The Technical Data Package (TDP) governing design and performance is not publicly accessible; access requires a completed DD Form 2345 and participation in the Joint Certification Program, restricting eligibility to certified DoD contractors. All submitted proprietary or confidential information must be clearly labeled, and vendors are required to provide written authorization for the government to distribute such data internally during the market research phase. The acquisition is classified under NAICS 332912, targeting components for fluid handling systems, with no set-aside designated at this time. Responses must include the vendor’s CAGE code and verified status in SAM.gov, particularly if claiming small business or socioeconomic status such as 8(a), HUBZone, WOSB, or SDVOSB, as these classifications will be validated at award. While no pricing, contract value, delivery schedules, or CLINs are specified—since this is a pre-solicitation activity—vendors are requested to provide indicative pricing and production capabilities. The place of performance and acceptance point are implied to be at or near the ACC-DTA facility in Warren, Michigan, and while no formal packaging, preservation, or labeling standards are cited, strict confidentiality controls govern the handling of technical data. Contract administration details identify Amy Dombrowski as the Contracting Officer and George Campbell as the Contract Specialist, but no Contracting Officer’s Representative or technical representative has been named. No evaluation factors, contract type, or award mechanism are defined yet, as all terms will be established in a future solicitation if market research supports moving forward.
