48--VALVE,LINEAR,DIRECT

The Navy is seeking a single source to provide four linear direct valves (NSN 7H‑4820‑014241201) with delivery FOB origin. The Government lacks data or rights to the part and has determined it uneconomical to purchase or reverse‑engineer the item, invoking FAR 6.302‑1 for a non‑competitive sole‑source award. Interested parties may submit capability statements within 45 days, though the notice is not a request for competitive proposals. The solicitation does not fall under FAR Part 12 (commercial items) and may be subject to Buy‑American and Trade‑Agreement clauses. • Quantity: 4 units, delivered FOB origin. • Sole‑source justification based on lack of data/rights and cost‑inefficiency of reverse engineering. • Responses accepted for 45 days (30 days if under an existing BOA); proposals may influence a future competitive decision. • Applicable DFARS clauses include Buy American and Trade Agreements.
