Bleed Air Hose Fabrication and Shipment

The Department of the Navy Naval Supply Systems Command is conducting market research to procure fabricated bleed air hose assemblies for USS O'KANE DDG 77, a naval destroyer based in San Diego, California. The primary objective of this pre-solicitation is to determine whether small businesses possess the capability to execute the requirements of this acquisition. Interested vendors must submit a capabilities statement by March 17, 2026 at 09:00 AM PST to Mr. Jason Pelle at jason.a.pelle.civ@us.navy.mil, and all small business designations must be clearly indicated in the response. Technical inquiries regarding the Statement of Work should be directed to Aaron Barnum, Chief Engineer, at CHENG@ddg77.navy.mil, while financial and administrative questions should be addressed to LS2 Denae Louise Aganon at s1_div@ddg77.navy.mil. The government will use the small business responses received to determine whether to establish a set-aside for small business competition on any portion of the final acquisition. No evaluation criteria or award values are specified in this pre-solicitation notice, as this is a market research phase rather than a formal solicitation.

This acquisition carries no current set-aside designation, though the government may establish one following the capabilities review. The Statement of Work specifies the fabrication of four distinct hose assembly configurations, including one Hose Dogleg Assembly with 321 CRES material rated at 300 PSI, two identical assemblies at 45" x 39-1/2" dimensions, three assemblies with 150 PSI ratings at 39" x 45" dimensions, and one CRES 321 Style SS-1 hose assembly with a 275 PSI working pressure rating and 425 PSI hydro test specification. All fabricated materials must be shipped to DLA Distribution San Diego at 3581 Cumming Road, Building 3581, San Diego, CA 92136-3581 prior to August 1, 2026. No incumbent contractor or award value is identified in this pre-solicitation notice. The NAICS classification for this procurement is 332996 (Fabricated Pipe and Pipe Fitting Manufacturing), and the PSC category is 4710 (Pipe, Tube and Rigid Tubing).
