Sources Sought Various Floodwater Suction Hose, Discharge Hose, and Connections

Seeking sources that have a variety of flexible or semi-rigid suction or discharge hose, tube, or pipe, elbows in a few degree orientations, or filters in sizes from 4-inches to 18-inches. Hose or pipes end configurations will be either Bauer Type B coupling, Ring and Cuff type couplings, flanged, or plain end.

The source shall have the ability to fulfil part, or all of the various types of hose, tube, or pipes listed below.

Sources should have the ability to arrange delivery anywhere in the Continental United States. Delivery outside the continental US may be requested (Alaska, Hawaii, or Limited US Territories).
