Quick Summary
The Department of the Navy, through NAVSUP Weapon Systems Support Mechanicsburg, is soliciting proposals for CHECK VALVES, designated as SPECIAL EMPHASIS material. These valves are critical for shipboard systems, where failure could lead to serious personnel injury, loss of life, vital systems, or the ship itself. The solicitation emphasizes stringent quality assurance, manufacturing precision, and comprehensive traceability.
Scope of Work
This opportunity requires the manufacture of CHECK VALVES in accordance with Crosby Drawing DS-B-90305 (REV H with Interim Change One (IC1)) and CD Sheet DS-G-99643. Key requirements include:
- Non-metallic materials must meet NAVSEA SS800-AG-MAN-010/P-9290 toxicity and flammability standards.
- Thread inspection per FED-STD-H28 series (or ASME B1 equivalent); internal threads must be cut.
- Slow Strain Rate Tensile Test of QQ-N-286 must be performed by specified approved laboratories.
- K-MONEL Fasteners require mechanical properties per MIL-DTL-1222 and heat treatment per QQ-N-286.
- Materials must be mercury-free.
- Strict Configuration Control processes, including Government approval for waivers, deviations, and Engineering Change Proposals (ECPs).
- A robust Quality System compliant with ISO-9001 (or MIL-I-45208) and calibration systems per ISO-10012/ANSI-Z540.3/ISO-17025 (or MIL-STD-45662).
- Government Quality Assurance (GQA) at the source, typically by DCMA QAR.
- Comprehensive material traceability (MIL-STD-792) and 100% Objective Quality Evidence (OQE) inspection.
- A detailed Certificate of Compliance for Special Emphasis Material, including specific traceability and test information.
- Packaging must adhere to MIL-STD 2073.

Submission Requirements
Offerors must submit certification data (CDRLs) 20 days prior to delivery, with Portsmouth Naval Shipyard reviewing and accepting them. Submissions must be made via Wide Area Work Flow (WAWF) using specific codes: "Ship to" N50286, "Inspect by" N39040, "Accept by" N39040, and email notification to PORT_PTNH_WAWF_Notification@navy.mil. No material is to be shipped without prior acceptance. A copy of current documented quality system procedures (DI-QCIC-81110) is required prior to award, unless already on file.
Additional Notes
This opportunity involves highly critical components, necessitating meticulous adherence to all technical specifications and quality control procedures. Recent updates include the revision of Emerson Drawing DS-B-90305 to REV H with IC1 and clarifications on ECDS usage and WAWF submission for waivers/deviations.
