Quick Summary
The Department of the Navy, specifically NAVSUP Weapon Systems Support Mech, has issued a solicitation for a VALVE, RELIEF, PRESSURE under Emergency Acquisition Flexibilities (EAF). This requirement is for Special Emphasis Material (Level I, Scope of Certification, or Quality Assured) for crucial shipboard systems. The resultant award will be bilaterally issued and is DO/DX certified for national defense under the Defense Priorities and Allocations System (DPAS). Proposals are due by June 3, 2026.
Scope of Work
This solicitation requires the provision of a complete 1/2 inch relief valve, manufactured in accordance with Emerson Kunkle drawing 20191, service part number 201919AM189M, with specific amplifications and modifications. Key requirements include:
- Oxygen Cleaning per MIL-STD-1330.
- Material Certification for parts like the Body (QQ-N-281) and Nipple (MIL-T-1368, class A), requiring quantitative chemical and mechanical analysis.
- Extensive Testing Certification, including Proof Pressure and Seat Tightness (MIL-V-22549), and Visual/Dye Penetrant Inspection for weldments (T9074-AS-GIB-010/271, MIL-STD-2035).
- Component Identification with CID 887115261 and adherence to MIL-DTL-15024.
- Strict Pressure and Test Time Tolerances.
- Internal Threads must be cut, not cold-formed, and inspected per FED-STD-H28 series or ASME B1 series.
- Welding and Brazing must comply with S9074-AR-GIB-010A/278, 0900-LP-001-7000, or S9074-AQ-GIB-010/248, with required submission of procedures and qualification data for approval.

Quality Assurance & Traceability
Contractors must maintain a quality system in accordance with ISO-9001 (or MIL-I-45208 as an alternate) and calibration systems per ISO-10012 or ANSI-Z540.3 with ISO-17025 (or MIL-STD-45662). Government Quality Assurance (GQA) at source by DCMA is required. Comprehensive traceability and certification are paramount for Level I/SUBSAFE systems, including material marking (MIL-STD-792) and detailed material certification reports (DI-MISC-81020). Subcontractor quality control and inspection flow-down are mandatory. Final inspection includes material sampling per ANSI/ASQ-Z1.4 or acceptable Statistical Process Control (SPC).
