Hose, nonmetallic

The Defense Logistics Agency Land and Maritime is seeking to establish an Indefinite Quantity Contract (IQC) for stock replenishment of nonmetallic hoses in support of military depots. The procurement will focus on one specific National Stock Number (NSN 4720-01-421-0297) for a nonmetallic hose used in military equipment. The solicitation will be issued as an unrestricted competition under 10 U.S.C. 2304(c)(1), with the full solicitation becoming available on January 17, 2025, through the DLA DIBBS website. Evaluation of offers will be based on a comprehensive assessment including price, past performance, delivery capability, surge and sustainment potential, and other factors outlined in the solicitation. Interested contractors must submit their offers by the specified due date, with the understanding that while price is significant, it will not be the sole determining factor in contract award.

The procurement has no specific set-aside designation and will have a total contract duration of five years, consisting of three base years with two potential option years. The estimated annual demand for the nonmetallic hoses is 266 units, and three approved sources have been identified: Echelon Supply and Service Inc., Oshkosh Defense, LLC, and Marshall of Cambridge Aerospace Ltd. The contract falls under the Rubber and Plastics Hoses and Belting Manufacturing NAICS category (326220) and the Hose and Flexible Tubing Product Service Code (4720). Potential contractors should note that drawings and specifications will not be available through the standard procurement system, and all responsible sources are encouraged to submit offers for consideration. The procurement represents a critical supply chain support mechanism for military logistics and equipment maintenance.
