Hose & Rubber Supply, Inc.

Hose & Rubber Supply, Inc., a Provo, Utah-based small business Subchapter S corporation, supplies industrial hoses, hose assemblies, fluid transfer components, fittings, adapters, and related pipe and tube products to the Defense Logistics Agency as a prime contractor under total small business set-asides and full-and-open competition. The company operates exclusively in the Defense Logistics Agency supply chain, with 732 of its 779 awards (94% by count) flowing to DLA Land and Maritime division alone, generating $19.5 million in combined potential value across that customer. Hose & Rubber Supply has held sixteen active single-award Indefinite Delivery Contracts with DLA Land and Maritime, each valued at up to $250,000 annually, covering nonmetallic hoses, hose assemblies, air duct hoses, quick disconnect caps, protective plugs, coupling halves, elbow tube fittings, tee pipe fittings, bushings, adapters, and related components. The vendor's NAICS footprint centers on rubber and plastics hoses and belting manufacturing (182 awards), fabricated pipe and pipe fitting manufacturing (180 awards), and miscellaneous fabricated metal products (226 awards), with PSC concentration in hose and flexible tubing (435 awards) and hose, pipe, tube, lubrication, and railing fittings (256 awards).

Recent award activity shows a sharp decline: Hose & Rubber Supply received 313 awards in 2022, dropping to 36 in 2023, 21 in 2024, 11 in 2025, and 6 in 2026 to date. The company's portfolio consists of purchase orders and delivery orders ranging from under $100 to roughly $150,000, with a combined potential value of $20.5 million and $5.6 million obligated (27% of potential value), indicating a pipeline of unfulfilled orders. Representative prime work includes a $125.7 million purchase order (Feb 2025, DLA Land and Maritime) for nonmetallic hose sets; a $149.3 million purchase order (Jun 2024, DLA Land and Maritime) for nonmetallic hose sets; and a $122.7 million purchase order (Oct 2024, DLA Land and Maritime) for nonmetallic hose sets. The vendor also holds small business set-aside awards such as a $106.4 million purchase order (Nov 2022, DLA Land and Maritime) for nonmetallic hose sets and a $100.6 million purchase order (Aug 2022, DLA Land and Maritime) for nonmetallic hose sets. Hose & Rubber Supply competes under total small business set-asides in approximately 40% of recent awards; the remainder flow through unrestricted, full-and-open competition.

The vendor has no subcontract relationships in the source data—all 779 awards are prime contracts. The recompete exposure window shows six awards with completion dates in the next twenty-four months, totaling $282 thousand in potential value, representing minimal portfolio turnover risk. Customer concentration is extreme: DLA Land and Maritime accounts for 99% of awards by count and 95% of combined potential value. The secondary customer, DLA Troop Support Construction and Equipment, holds 32 awards valued at $498 thousand. All other customers (Department of the Navy, Department of the Air Force) account for fewer than five awards each. Hose & Rubber Supply has been registered in the System for Award Management since 2007 and has maintained an established relationship as a reliable supplier of critical industrial hoses and fluid transfer components to support military maintenance, repair, and overhaul operations across the Department of Defense.
