What the government is buying

DLA Land and Maritime is seeking to acquire a parts kit for a pressure regulator under classification code 48 (Aerospace/Aeronautical Equipment and Components, Non-Airborne). NAICS 332912 covers fluid power cylinder and actuator manufacturing, which includes pressure control and regulation components used in hydraulic and pneumatic systems.

Pressure regulator parts kits typically contain replaceable components—such as diaphragms, springs, valve seats, seals, and adjustment hardware—used to rebuild or maintain pressure regulation equipment. DLA Land and Maritime manages supply chains for military land and maritime platforms, so this requirement likely supports maintenance of equipment where precise pressure control is critical for safe operation.

The procurement uses a combined synopsis/solicitation format, meaning the notice serves as both the announcement of the requirement and the formal solicitation document. see the solicitation for the complete parts list, technical specifications, applicable military or commercial standards, and any required testing or certification.

Key facts

Who can bid

This is a full and open competition with no small-business set-aside, meaning any responsible bidder—large or small—may submit an offer. Firms registered under NAICS 332912 (Fluid Power Cylinder and Actuator Manufacturing) or with relevant manufacturing capabilities in pressure control components are positioned to compete.

To bid, your business must:

• Be registered in SAM.gov with active status
• Hold a valid Unique Entity ID (UEI)
• Meet any applicable DLA supplier qualification requirements
• Be capable of delivering parts that meet the technical specifications (see the solicitation)

If you are a small business, you may still compete but will not receive set-aside preferences. Consider whether teaming arrangements or subcontracting plans could strengthen your competitive position against larger suppliers.

How to put together a competitive bid

For pressure regulator parts kits in DLA supply chains, focus on these elements:

Technical compliance: DLA purchases are specification-driven. Obtain the complete technical data package referenced in the solicitation and verify your ability to manufacture or source each component to the exact standards cited—whether military specifications (MIL-STD, MIL-PRF), aerospace standards (SAE, AS), or commercial item descriptions.

Traceability and quality: Defense supply chains require rigorous quality documentation. Prepare your quality management certifications (AS9100, ISO 9001, or equivalent) and establish lot traceability protocols for all components. Source inspection or first article testing may apply—see the solicitation for requirements.

Past performance: If you have prior DLA or DoD contracts for similar components, highlight on-time delivery and quality acceptance rates. First-time DLA suppliers should emphasize relevant commercial aerospace, industrial, or maritime experience.

Pricing strategy: Analyze DLA's historical pricing for similar NSNs if available through FPDS or DLA's Internet Bid Bond System (DIBBS). Factor in material volatility for specialized alloys, elastomers, or coatings common in pressure regulation.

Packaging and marking: DLA has specific military packaging requirements (MIL-STD-2073). Confirm whether Level A, B, or commercial packaging applies and price accordingly.
