What the government is buying
The Department of the Navy is soliciting offers for butterfly valves through NAVSUP Weapon Systems Support Mechanicsburg. Butterfly valves are quarter-turn rotational motion valves used to stop, regulate, or start flow in piping systems. In naval applications, these valves typically handle seawater, fuel, hydraulic fluid, or other shipboard systems. They are generally lighter and more compact than gate or globe valves, making them suitable for tight spaces aboard vessels.
This procurement falls under NAICS 332919 (Other Metal Valve and Pipe Fitting Manufacturing), which covers establishments manufacturing metal valves other than plumbing fixture fittings and trim, metal couplings, unions, and compression fittings. The classification code 4820 corresponds to "Valves, Nonpowered" in the Federal Supply Classification system.

Who can bid
This is an unrestricted solicitation with no small-business set-aside. Any responsible offeror—large or small business—may submit a bid. This includes manufacturers meeting NAICS 332919 size standards, distributors with manufacturer authorization, and potentially value-added resellers if the solicitation permits non-manufacturer exceptions.
If you are a small business, you will compete directly against large valve manufacturers and established defense contractors. You do not need a specific socioeconomic certification (8(a), HUBZone, SDVOSB, etc.) to bid, though such status may still be relevant for subcontracting plans or past-performance narratives if applicable.
How to put together a competitive bid
Verify your manufacturing capabilities or supply chain. Butterfly valves for Navy use typically require specific materials (bronze, stainless steel, or MONEL alloys), pressure ratings, and conformance to military or commercial maritime standards. Confirm whether you will manufacture the item or source from an approved domestic manufacturer, as Buy American Act or Berry Amendment restrictions likely apply to naval procurements.
Review technical requirements carefully. Naval valve procurements often reference specifications such as MIL-V-18110, MIL-DTL-22101, or equivalent commercial standards. See the solicitation for the exact specification, testing requirements, and quality-assurance provisions.
Prepare your pricing strategically. Unrestricted competitions among valve manufacturers tend to be price-sensitive. Benchmark against comparable Navy solicitations for similar NSNs or part numbers. Account for material-cost fluctuations if delivery extends into 2027.
Submit through the designated electronic portal. Navy solicitations typically require submission via NAVCO or the designated system identified in the solicitation document.
Ensure your SAM registration and representations are current. Verify your CAGE code, past representations, and any required certifications are active through the response deadline.
