What the government is buying
The Navy's Naval Supply Systems Command (NAVSUP) Weapon Systems Support is soliciting bids for a valve assembly, manifold—a mechanical component used in fluid control systems. NAICS 332919 (Other Metal Valve and Pipe Fitting Manufacturing) covers manufacturers of industrial valves, pipe fittings, and related fluid power components. Manifold valve assemblies consolidate multiple valve functions into a single unit, commonly used in shipboard systems, aircraft, and other defense platforms requiring precise hydraulic or pneumatic control.
This is a direct parts procurement for the Department of Defense supply chain. NAVSUP WSS Mechanicsburg serves as the primary procurement point for naval weapon systems spare parts and logistics support.

Who can bid
This solicitation is full and open competition with no set-aside designation, meaning any qualified business—regardless of size—may compete. Small businesses interested in bidding do not benefit from restricted competition but compete directly with larger manufacturers and defense contractors.
To compete effectively, a bidder should:
- Be registered in the System for Award Management (SAM.gov)
- Have a valid CAGE code
- Meet any applicable defense contractor cybersecurity requirements (NIST SP 800-171 or CMMC, depending on contract flow-downs)
- Demonstrate capability to manufacture or supply valve assemblies to military specifications
Manufacturers with AS9100 (aerospace) or ISO 9001 quality certifications often have advantages in defense valve procurements. Companies should verify whether their existing product lines or custom manufacturing capabilities align with the technical requirements.
How to put together a competitive bid
Given the metal valve/pipe fitting manufacturing nature of this work and full and open competition:
Technical compliance is paramount. DOD valve assemblies typically require adherence to MIL-spec drawings, material certifications, and traceability documentation. See the solicitation for exact specifications, testing requirements, and acceptance criteria.
Pricing strategy must account for:
- Raw material volatility (stainless steel, aluminum, specialized alloys)
- Low-volume production economics if this is a sparse-demand NSN item
- Quality assurance and inspection costs
Past performance matters. Document relevant DOD or commercial valve supply experience. NAVSUP WSS evaluates supplier reliability, on-time delivery, and quality history.
Consider teaming if you're a small manufacturer. A prime contractor arrangement with a larger valve producer, or subcontracting specialized finishing/testing, may strengthen your bid.
Review INCOTERMS and shipping requirements—defense logistics often require specific packaging, marking, and delivery to defense distribution depots.
