48--VALVE,SAFETY RELIEF

The US Navy is soliciting a proposal for the acquisition of a safety relief valve, with a specific NSN and TDP version. The government intends to solicit and negotiate with only one source under the authority of FAR 6.302-1. The proposed contract action is for supplies or services for which the government intends to solicit and negotiate with only one source. The scope of work includes the delivery of three valves to the Norfolk Naval Shipyard in Portsmouth, VA. Key considerations for this opportunity include the ability to meet the qualification requirements and the ability to deliver the valves to the specified location. * The government is seeking a direct purchase from the actual manufacturer. * The government does not own the data or rights to the data needed to purchase or contract repair of this part from additional sources. * The government has determined that it is uneconomical to buy the data or rights to the data or to reverse engineer the part. * Interested parties may obtain copies of military and federal specifications and standards from the DoD Single Stock Point.
