Hose

The Defense Logistics Agency Land and Maritime is procuring 200 high-pressure air hose assemblies through solicitation SPMYM225Q2495. The required hoses are specialized 1/2" x 25' assemblies with specific technical requirements including a minimum working pressure of 6,000 PSI, burst pressure of 24,000 PSI, PTFE conductive smooth bore liner, and braided stainless steel reinforcement with JIC female swivel fittings. Each hose must undergo hydrostatic testing at 7,500 PSIG and come with written certification meeting NAHAD standards. Responsive bids must include completed solicitation forms, CAGE code, FOB destination pricing to Bremerton WA, lead time information, manufacturer details, and country of origin. The solicitation was posted on September 3, 2025, with quotes due by 3:00 PM on September 4, 2025, allowing only one day for response preparation.

This procurement is designated as a Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business (SDVOSB) set-aside, restricting competition to qualified SDVOSB firms. The contract specifies delivery of all 200 hose assemblies to the Puget Sound Naval Shipyard Receiving Officer in Bremerton, Washington by September 30, 2025. The solicitation references Unisource as the original manufacturer with part number A-T1710-08-25-25-300, though equal products are acceptable if vendors provide comprehensive manufacturer specifications and technical documentation. Contractors may need to comply with NIST SP 800-171 cybersecurity requirements unless the items qualify as Commercial Off-The-Shelf (COTS) products. The hoses are intended for installation between compressors and receivers in what appears to be naval shipyard maintenance operations, with consideration for potential cyclic loading and impulse service conditions.
