What the government is buying
The Department of the Navy is soliciting bids for a VALVE, LINEAR, DIRECT through NAVSUP Weapon Systems Support Mechanicsburg. This is a mechanically-actuated linear valve used in fluid control applications, typically found in shipboard systems, industrial piping, or weapons systems support infrastructure. Per the classification code 4810, this falls under the broader category of valves and related hardware.
Linear direct valves operate through straight-line (rather than rotary) motion to open, close, or throttle flow. In naval contexts, these components must meet demanding specifications for reliability, material compatibility, and performance under pressure, temperature, and environmental stress. See the solicitation for exact technical requirements, materials, dimensions, pressure ratings, and any applicable military or commercial specifications.

Who can bid
This is a full and open competition with no set-aside, meaning businesses of any size may bid. The relevant NAICS code is 332919 — Other Metal Valve and Pipe Fitting Manufacturing. Firms registered in SAM.gov with this NAICS code (or capable of performing this work) are eligible.
Given this is Department of Defense procurement, bidders should anticipate requirements that may include:
- SAM.gov active registration at time of award
- Compliance with Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement (DFARS) clauses
- Potential Buy American Act or Berry Amendment restrictions on materials and origin
- Quality assurance and source inspection protocols typical of NAVSUP acquisitions
- Possible Certificate of Current Cost or Pricing Data or other certified cost information
Small businesses without mandatory DoD procurement experience should evaluate whether they can meet delivery, inspection, and documentation requirements before committing resources to a bid.
How to put together a competitive bid
For valve manufacturing and supply solicitations, competitiveness depends on technical precision and demonstrated reliability:
Technical compliance: Submit exact product data showing your valve meets all material, dimensional, pressure, temperature, and actuation specifications cited in the solicitation. Reference comparable prior production or supply history, especially to military or maritime customers.
Pricing strategy: With no set-aside, expect competition from established defense contractors and large manufacturers. Analyze whether your cost structure supports competitive pricing while maintaining margins for quality compliance and potential post-award audits.
Quality systems: Highlight any ISO 9001, AS9100, or NAVSEA-approved quality program certifications. Document your inspection processes, material traceability, and non-conformance handling.
Past performance: Include relevant contract history with DoD, other federal agencies, or commercial marine/oil & gas valve supply. Emphasize on-time delivery and defect-free acceptance rates.
Small business advantages: While unrestricted, consider subcontracting partnerships or highlighting agility and responsive customer service if competing against larger firms.
