Attachment 1 Mercedes Fire Hose Item List.xlsx

This is an attachment to a Sources Sought Notice listing specific fire hose and coupling requirements for Andrews AFB Fire and Emergency Services. The document specifies Mercedes-brand fire hoses in three primary configurations: 4-inch supply hose for primary water delivery from hydrants to fire apparatus during structural and Aircraft Rescue and Firefighting (ARFF) incidents; 1.75-inch attack hose for interior structural fire operations; and 2.5-inch attack/supply hose for high-flow applications including large-volume fires, standpipe operations, and ARFF support. All hoses must include factory-installed, compatible aluminum couplings with directional indicators to ensure secure, leak-free connections and rapid deployment capability.

The sourcing effort aims to standardize equipment across the fire department's critical operations, including structural firefighting, ARFF support, and municipal water supply tasks, while enhancing firefighter safety and operational efficiency. This is a pre-solicitation notice only; no formal proposals are being accepted at this stage. Interested vendors should submit responses by Wednesday, September 23rd, 2026 at 3:00 PM EDT. Additional specifications and technical requirements are detailed in Attachment 2 - Salient Characteristic Sheet.
