Hose assembly

The Defense Logistics Agency Land and Maritime is soliciting bids for the procurement of hose assemblies specifically designed for steam service applications. The requirement calls for 1-inch internal diameter black EPDM synthetic rubber hoses with wire reinforcement, 25 feet in length, fitted with stainless steel fittings suitable for saturated steam service at 250 PSIG. Bidders must meet stringent technical specifications including hydrostatic testing at 290 PSIG with zero leakage tolerance, proper MIL-STD-129 packaging and marking, and compliance with federal acquisition regulations including NIST SP 800-171 where applicable (unless items qualify as Commercial Off The Shelf). The solicitation requires submission of a complete and signed quote via email to junghee.kim@dla.mil or fax to 360-476-4121, with all applicable boxes in clause 52.204-24 properly checked, and bidders must provide the manufacturer's name, country of origin, and lead time information. The critical response deadline is January 12, 2026 at 6:00 AM, with late bids considered ineligible for award.

This procurement is designated as a Total Small Business set-aside, limiting competition to qualified small business concerns. The solicitation seeks 130 hose assemblies with an estimated delivery date of February 2, 2026, with inspection and acceptance to be conducted at the Puget Sound Naval Shipyard in Bremerton, Washington, allowing a 45-day inspection period. The referenced manufacturer is PLICORD with part number 20019141, along with specified components including Dixon Valve & Coupling fittings and Campbell Fittings U-bolt clamps. Contract data requirements include certificates of compliance and hydrostatic test documentation submitted through the Wide Area Workflow (WAWF) e-Business Suite concurrently with material shipment. No specific award value is stated in the solicitation documents, though the requirement for 130 units suggests a moderate contract value typical for this category of fabricated metal products.
