International Belt & Rubber Supply Inc.

International Belt & Rubber Supply Inc., a small business subchapter S corporation headquartered in Federal Way (with a secondary site in Auburn), Washington, manufactures and supplies industrial hoses, flexible ducting, valves, couplers, and related non-metallic components to the U.S. Navy as a prime contractor under total small business set-aside vehicles. The company competes almost exclusively under small business set-asides; 99% of its 595 recent awards carry total small business designations, with the remainder split between full-and-open and no-set-aside competition.

International Belt & Rubber Supply's federal footprint is tightly concentrated in naval ship maintenance and fleet readiness. The Naval Sea Systems Command (NAVSEA) accounts for 425 awards (71% of total) valued at $7.4 million combined potential, while the U.S. Pacific Fleet Forces holds 135 awards (23%) worth $1.5 million. Together these two Navy customers represent 99% of the award count and combined potential value. The remaining customer set—the Navy Installations Command, the Department of the Interior Bureau of Reclamation, and the Army Corps of Engineers—represents nominal volume. The vendor's core procurement base maps to NAICS 326220 (Rubber and Plastics Hoses and Belting Manufacturing, 272 awards) and overlapping manufacturing codes for metal fittings and valve assembly. PSC coding reflects the commodity footprint: 367 awards fall under Hose and Flexible Tubing, 142 under Hose, Pipe, Tube, Lubrication, and Railing Fittings, with minor exposure to rubber fabricated materials, non-powered valves, and packing gaskets.

Recent representative work spans industrial hose and component supply. A $196,286 total small business set-aside delivery order from Pacific Fleet Forces (July 2024) procured assorted hoses and fittings for shipboard systems at Federal Way. A $179,401 delivery order from the same customer (July 2024) supplied anti-submarine warfare hoses to Puget Sound Naval Shipyard and Kings Bay Base. A $137,502 NAVSEA delivery order (August 2023) procured general hoses to military specifications, while a $75,376 NAVSEA contract (January 2023) delivered steam hose assemblies to support fleet readiness. Smaller orders in the $15,000–$70,000 range represent the typical transaction size and recur monthly across NAVSEA and Pacific Fleet Forces, all firm fixed-price purchase orders with delivery cycles of 60–120 days.

Activity has grown modestly year over year—nine awards in 2022 to twenty in 2024—but dropped to eleven awards in 2025 and one in 2026 (as of early February). This contraction suggests a seasonal or cycle adjustment rather than loss of customer relationship; the vendor has maintained continuous presence in NAVSEA and Pacific Fleet Forces procurement streams since at least 2021. The $9.3 million combined potential value across all 595 awards translates to an average award magnitude of roughly $15,600, consistent with the tactical, repeat-purchase nature of naval hose and component supply. No subcontract footprint is evident in the source data; the vendor operates as a prime supplier exclusively, with no recorded sub-awards.

The vendor's competitive posture is singular: it serves as a direct-buy supplier to Navy shipyards and fleet logistics, competing in small-business-set-aside simplified acquisitions with two- to three-day solicitation windows and one-day bid submission closes. Turnaround is consistent with Defense Logistics Agency Maritime procurement cycles and naval shipyard maintenance schedules. International Belt & Rubber Supply's registration in SAM.gov dates to December 2000, and it maintains demonstrated past-performance credentials across multiple product lines (petroleum, steam, chemical, fire, and air hoses; flexible ducting; valves; couplers; manifolds) meeting MIL-DTL and NIST SP 800-171 compliance standards where required. The vendor is not known to hold prime positions on GWACs, IDIQs, or agency-wide BPAs; all recent awards are purchase orders issued directly by Navy contracting offices.
