In addition compatibility is required so that spare parts can be used between all the same items. The items were are purchasing under this requirement are for existing VAT gate valves. Since only VAT can meet these compatibility requirements, no other supplier can meet the required compatibly that is required.       ***Delivery shall be FOB Destination, Gaithersburg, MD, and is required within 8 weeks after receipt of order.*** ***The North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) code for this acquisition is 332911, and the size standard is 500 employees.*** ***No solicitation package will be issued.
