The Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Land and Maritime is soliciting quotes for blast hoses through Solicitation SPMYM225Q0441, specifically seeking 100 lengths of 1.1/4" ID X 2.5/32" OD, 4-ply hoses with a 150 PSI maximum rating and a green, weather-resistant outer cover. The solicitation requires manufacturers to be NIST SP 800-171 compliant, unless the items are Commercial Off The Shelf (COTS), and contractors must submit signed solicitations via email to be considered responsive. Quotes are due by 6:00 AM on November 29, 2024, and contractors must complete representations regarding covered telecommunications equipment under clause 52.204-24.

The contract is a total small business set-aside, targeting Rubber and Plastics Hoses and Belting Manufacturing (NAICS 326220), with specific procurement targeting Unisource Manufacturing's Wellington C909 product lines. The specific procurement calls for delivery to Puget Sound Naval Shipyard in Bremerton, WA, with a delivery deadline of January 20, 2025. The solicitation includes a 10% quantity variation allowance, providing some flexibility in the final order. While no specific award value is mentioned, the procurement appears focused on a relatively small, specialized hose order for naval shipyard operations. Interested vendors must carefully review all solicitation documents, ensure complete submission of all required information, and meet the strict compliance requirements to be considered for this contract opportunity.
