About this opportunity
The Department of the Army, through Army Contracting Command's Tobyhanna Division, is conducting market research for life cycle fire hose and accessories to support Tobyhanna Army Depot's Fire and Emergency Services Branch in Pennsylvania. The procurement seeks brand name or equivalent fire hoses and accessories from Mercedes Textiles, specifically the KrakenEXO Fire Hose, Megaflo Breather Hose, WAYOUT Coupling, and Storz Coupling that must meet rigorous NFPA 1961 and UL performance standards. The fire hoses require specific technical characteristics including polyester yarn construction, polyurethane lining, flexibility to -65°F, color-coded jackets, and comprehensive warranty coverage including two-year all hazards protection, ten-year manufacturing defect coverage, and lifetime liner delamination warranty. Interested vendors must provide their organization information and indicate whether the items are available on their existing government contracts, with responses required to be submitted via email to Jeremy.m.gragilla.civ@army.mil. The response deadline is August 5, 2025, and telephone inquiries will not be accepted or acknowledged.
This sources sought notice is designated as a Total Small Business set-aside, with all small business categories being considered for the potential procurement. Mercedes Textiles appears to be the brand name manufacturer referenced for the required fire hose specifications, though the notice seeks brand name or equivalent products from qualified suppliers. No specific award values or budget ranges are disclosed in this pre-solicitation phase, as this is strictly a market research effort to identify capable vendors. The government intends to procure these items through existing government contracts where possible, and emphasizes that responses to this sources sought notice will not be considered as responses to any subsequent formal solicitation. Based on the market research responses, the Army may decide to set aside the requirement for small businesses in full or in part, or proceed with full and open competition.
