Fire Hoses including Couplings and Nozzles

The Department of the Air Force Reserve Command is soliciting bids for the procurement of fire hoses including couplings and nozzles for Dobbins Fire & Emergency Services. The contract requires the delivery of 144 total fire hose sections across multiple specifications, including 70 red 1¾" x 50' double jacket fire hoses, 10 blue 2½" x 50' double jacket fire hoses, 50 yellow 3" x 50' double jacket fire hoses with aluminum couplings, and various yellow 5" pro-flow rubber hoses in different lengths. All fire hoses must meet NFPA 1962 safety and operational standards, and vendors are responsible for manufacturing or procuring the hoses, implementing quality control measures, proper packaging, and ensuring compliance with all specified standards and quantities. The solicitation was posted on August 15, 2025, with proposals due by August 21, 2025, providing potential contractors with a six-day response window. Delivery of all hoses is required by October 1, 2025, and all delivered equipment will be subject to inspection upon receipt.

This procurement opportunity is designated as a Total Small Business set-aside, restricting participation to qualified small business enterprises. The contract falls under NAICS code 326220 (Rubber and Plastics Hoses and Belting Manufacturing) and PSC category 4720 (Hose And Flexible Tubing). Performance will take place in Marietta, Georgia 30069, where the fire hoses will be delivered to the designated Dobbins facility. The solicitation includes comprehensive technical specifications outlined in the Statement of Work dated June 27, 2025, along with NFPA-1962 standards documentation to ensure contractors understand the exact requirements for the 144 fire hose sections. The relatively short timeframe between solicitation posting and proposal due date suggests this may be an urgent operational requirement for the Air Force Reserve Command's fire and emergency services capabilities.
