SOC Hose Assembly

The Defense Logistics Agency Land and Maritime is soliciting quotes for a SOC Hose Assembly (Solicitation Number SPMYM326Q1115) designated as a Women-Owned Small Business (WOSB) set-aside with consideration for Economically Disadvantaged Women-Owned Small Businesses (EDWOSB). The procurement involves a single hose assembly unit specified as a 0.50 NPT, 30-foot length Standard Operating Fluid (SOF) equipment inflation hose assembly rated for 120 PSI maximum, manufactured to NAVSEA Drawing Number 6640965, with SOC MCD-B certification. The hose assembly is critical equipment for the USS NEW MEXICO (SSN-779) where failure could result in serious personnel injury, loss of life, or loss of the ship. Key requirements include compliance with MIL-STD-1622 cleaning standards, hydrostatic testing to 240 PSIG, lubrication per MIL-PRF-27617, off-gassing analysis, material traceability, quality assurance certification, and certificate of compliance. Offerors must submit quotes by February 24, 2026, with the RFQ evaluation based on compliance with technical specifications and pricing as outlined in the technical data package.

This is a non-set-aside procurement; however, it is designated specifically as a WOSB/EDWOSB set-aside, indicating the government's intent to reserve this opportunity for women-owned small businesses. The suggested source is Electric Boat Corporation in Groton, Connecticut, though the WOSB set-aside designation opens competition to qualified firms in that category. The contract value is $5,000.00 for one hose assembly unit. Delivery is required by June 1, 2026, to Portsmouth Naval Shipyard (56/P1/DA) in Kittery, Maine. The contractor must submit inspection and test plans, certification and data reports for the hose assembly, certified hydrostatic data reports demonstrating no leakage or permanent deformation, and off-gas test certifications prior to material shipment, with all documentation subject to Portsmouth Naval Shipyard review and acceptance.
