What the government is buying
The Naval Supply Systems Command (NAVSUP) Weapons Systems Support office in Mechanicsburg is soliciting bids for a DISK ASSEMBLY,VALVE — a precision-machined metal component used in valve systems. This falls under the category of miscellaneous fabricated metal product manufacturing, specifically parts that support naval weapons systems and shipboard mechanical infrastructure.
Valve disk assemblies are critical components that regulate or control fluid flow in piping systems. In naval applications, these parts typically must meet stringent military specifications for material composition, dimensional tolerances, surface finish, and performance under pressure, temperature, and corrosive conditions. The specific technical requirements, including drawings, specifications, and acceptance criteria, see the solicitation.
This is a direct solicitation to the industrial base, meaning NAVSUP has identified a need and is seeking competitive quotes from qualified suppliers rather than making a sole-source award.

Who can bid
This procurement is full and open competition with no small-business set-aside. Large businesses, small businesses, and nontraditional defense contractors may all submit offers.
NAICS 332919 covers establishments primarily engaged in manufacturing metal valves (including industrial valves, fluid power valves, and plumbing fixture fittings), pipe fittings, and similar fabricated metal products. To bid competitively, you should have:
- Active SAM.gov registration with valid CAGE code
- Experience with military specification (MIL-SPEC) manufacturing, particularly for naval applications
- Quality management system certification (typically ISO 9001; AS9100 or NADCAP may be relevant depending on materials/processes)
- Machining capabilities for precision metal components: CNC turning, milling, grinding, and potentially specialized processes like heat treatment or coating
- Traceability and documentation systems for defense contract deliverables
Small businesses should realistically assess whether they can meet delivery requirements, quality standards, and any flow-down provisions from prime contractor relationships, as large competitors may have advantages in NAVSUP contracting history.
How to put together a competitive bid
Source the technical package immediately. NAVSUP WSS solicitations typically reference military standard drawings, material specifications, and acceptance test procedures. Request or download all attachments from SAM.gov — missing a specification revision can disqualify your bid.
Verify your manufacturing capability against exact requirements. Valve disk assemblies for naval use may require specific alloys (stainless steel, nickel-copper, or superalloys), hardness ranges, and surface treatments. Confirm you have certified material sources and can perform required non-destructive testing (NDT) such as penetrant inspection or radiography if specified.
Price strategically. NAVSUP WSS uses historical pricing data and should-cost models. Research prior awards for similar NSNs (National Stock Numbers) in the FBO/SAM archives. Factor in:
- Material costs with volatility buffers for specialty metals
- First article inspection requirements
- Packaging for military preservation and storage
- DD250 documentation and Wide Area Workflow (WAWF) invoicing compliance
Highlight past performance. Reference similar DOD or marine industry valve component deliveries, especially to NAVSEA or NAVSUP. Include quality metrics, on-time delivery rates, and any sole-source repair capabilities.
Address security clearance needs. While the component itself may be unclassified, facility security requirements see the solicitation.
Next steps
- Access the full solicitation package on SAM.gov using solicitation number N0010426RZB14
- Download all attachments and specifications before the October 6, 2026 deadline
- Verify your SAM.gov registration is active through at least the contract performance period
- Submit your quote by 2:00 PM EDT on October 6, 2026
Allow buffer time for SAM.gov technical issues. Questions to the contracting officer should be submitted per the solicitation's instructions, typically several days before the deadline to allow response time.
