What the government is buying
The Department of the Navy is soliciting for a valve, regulating, flanged—a mechanical component used to control fluid flow in piping systems. This type of valve is commonly found in shipboard, industrial, or facility applications where precise flow regulation is required and flanged end connections are specified for installation.
Items under Federal Supply Classification (FSC) 4820—valves, nonpowered—support a range of naval operations including propulsion, auxiliary systems, and shore infrastructure. The flanged configuration suggests integration into existing piping systems where bolted connections are preferred for maintenance access or pressure requirements.
See the solicitation for exact specifications, quantities, delivery requirements, and any technical data packages or certifications required.

Who can bid
This solicitation is full and open competition with no small business set-aside, meaning any responsible source—large or small business—may submit an offer. However, small businesses in NAICS 332919 (Other Metal Valve and Pipe Fitting Manufacturing) or related manufacturing sectors should evaluate whether they can meet any qualification requirements.
Small manufacturers should verify their capabilities against potential requirements such as:
- Defense supply chain or maritime industry experience
- Quality certifications (e.g., ISO 9001, NAVSEA-certified suppliers)
- Manufacturing to military or commercial standards (MIL-SPEC, ASTM, ASME)
If you are a small business new to defense contracting, consider whether you meet SAM.gov registration requirements and have an active Cage Code. See the solicitation for any explicit vendor qualification criteria.
How to put together a competitive bid
For manufacturing solicitations in FSC 4820 with no set-aside, consider these practical steps:
Technical compliance: Obtain and review any drawings, specifications, or performance requirements referenced in the solicitation. Flanged regulating valves may require specific pressure ratings, material standards (stainless steel, bronze, or other alloys), or conformance to military standards. Deviations from specifications typically require explicit approval; document any proposed alternatives thoroughly.
Source of supply: If you are a distributor rather than manufacturer, clarify whether the solicitation permits non-manufacturer bids and identify your proposed OEM. Some defense valve procurements require traceability to original production sources.
Pricing strategy: In open competition, large manufacturers may have volume advantages. Small businesses should highlight responsiveness, delivery flexibility, or specialized configurations as differentiators. Request any historical pricing data available through SAM.gov or contracting officer inquiries.
Past performance: Prepare relevant contract references, especially for valves or similar mechanical components delivered to military or marine customers. NAVSUP Weapon Systems Support prioritizes supply chain reliability for fleet support.
Delivery and packaging: Navy supply contracts often specify preservation, packaging, and marking to MIL-STD-129 or similar. Factor these requirements into both cost and operational planning.
