Mcgill Hose & Coupling, Inc.

McGill Hose & Coupling, Inc., doing business as McGill Hose, manufactures flexible metal hoses, PTFE hoses, industrial hoses, fittings, and ventilation ducting for the U.S. Department of Defense as a prime contractor (99% of recent awards) under the total small business set-aside program. The East Longmeadow, Massachusetts-based manufacturer has held federal contractor status since June 2001 and competes predominantly in small-business-set-aside categories across its prime footprint.

Customer concentration is extreme: the Naval Sea Systems Command (NAVSEA) accounts for 156 of the vendor's 181 prime awards and $10.9 million of its $11.5 million combined potential value—85% of all activity by both count and dollars. The Department of the Navy Naval Supply Systems Command, Defense Logistics Agency Land and Maritime, and U.S. Fleet Forces Command account for the remaining 4% of awards and dollars. This concentration reflects McGill Hose's established role as a sole-source supplier of specialized fluid handling components to naval shipbuilding, maintenance, and repair operations.

McGill Hose holds a single-award Indefinite Delivery Contract with NAVSEA valued at $4.77 million, set aside for small businesses, running through September 27, 2027. The contract procures insulated flexible ventilation ducting and ventilation duct components to support Portsmouth Naval Shipyard and other naval facilities. Since September 2022, McGill Hose has received nine documented delivery orders under this parent IDC, ranging from approximately $11,260 to $361,849 and totaling over $1.4 million in cumulative obligations through September 2025. Representative recent work includes a $361,849 delivery order (September 4, 2025) for ventilation ducting at East Longmeadow; a $213,982 delivery order (September 13, 2023) for insulated flexible ventilation ducting; and a $243,044 delivery order (September 28, 2022) for the same product line. Beyond the parent IDC, McGill Hose receives smaller purchase orders directly from NAVSEA and DLA Maritime, typically valued between $10,000 and $180,000 per award, for flexible duct, hose assemblies, ventilation ducting, and specialized fluid handling components.

Activity has declined over the past five years: 25 awards in 2022 to 10 in 2025 and 2 in 2026 year-to-date. No recompete cliff data is present in the source, but the parent IDC's September 27, 2027 completion date represents the vendor's largest single contract exposure. Award scope concentrates on NAICS 326220 (Rubber and Plastics Hoses and Belting Manufacturing) and PSC Hose and Flexible Tubing, with secondary presence in fluid power valve and hose fittings and fabricated metal products.

McGill Hose operates two documented subcontracts: a $62,944 definitive contract sub to the Department of the Navy Reserve Command (February 10, 2023) for dry-link dry-disconnect replacement parts for aerial spray; and a sub to Raytheon Company on an undefinitized contract action for Lower Tier Air and Missile Defense System (LTAMDS) hoses (July 31, 2025). A third sub appears in the source data under Electric Boat Corporation for SSN 804 construction (March 20, 2024), suggesting defense prime subcontracting exposure. The sub footprint remains minimal relative to the prime base.

McGill Hose competes exclusively under the total small business set-aside designation across approximately 90% of its award population, with no full-and-open competition represented in the recent portfolio. The vendor holds no positions on government-wide vehicles, GWACs, or multi-agency BPAs; instead, it operates as a single-source supplier under agency-specific IDCs and receives spot purchase orders from DLA Maritime and NAVSEA.
