The U.S. Navy, through Fleet Logistics Center Puget Sound, is soliciting firm fixed price quotes for flexible hose assemblies under solicitation N0040626Q0255, with a total small business set-aside under NAICS code 326122. The requirement includes specific hose assemblies identified by drawing numbers and part configurations, with deliveries required by August 17, 2026, to the U.S. Navy SRF-JRMC Sasebo, Japan location. The government will arrange and pay for transportation under FOB Origin terms, and all items must be packaged and marked in strict compliance with ASTM-D-3951, including prohibition of prohibited materials such as asbestos, excelsior, and loose fill polystyrene, while non-manufactured wood packaging must be heat treated to 56°C for at least 30 minutes and certified by an ALSC-recognized agency. Items requiring unique identification must adhere to MIL-STD-130 and MIL-STD-129 for marking and labeling, with machine-readable compliance verified per Appendix A of MIL-STD-130. Inspections and acceptance will occur at the destination by the receiving activity, and proof of delivery must include individually identifiable package tracking rather than manifests. Quoters must be registered in SAM, provide their CAGE code, and clearly state their company size as small or large; failure to quote the full scope of the requirement will be deemed unacceptable.
