HOSE ASSEMBLY, NONME

The contract is for the procurement of a nonmetallic hose assembly designated as P/N 88043-224 with NSN 4720-01-379-4569, requiring 12 units at $12.00 per unit, totaling $144.00. The hose is 360 inches (30 feet) in length and must be packaged in strict compliance with MIL-STD-2073-1E and DLA packaging requirements, including secure mounting on a reel or spool, placement inside a double-walled, weather-resistant fiberboard container (ASTM-D5118, Type CF), and closure of all openings with plastic plugs or end caps to prevent contamination. Marking must adhere to MIL-STD-129 with special codes including "CA" for abrasion protection, "02 ARROW UP," and "OPEN THIS SIDE," while omitting item nomenclature entirely due to its classification as protected cargo under Special Marking Code 40. All packaging and marking must reflect compliance with DLA's technical and quality standards as referenced in the DLA Master List, and the contractor must ensure no government identification appears on non-accepted supplies. Delivery is required FOB origin within 43 days of the contract award, with inspection and acceptance occurring at the destination. The shipment must be delivered to the DLA Distribution facility at 2083 Normandy Drive, New Cumberland, PA 17070-5002, using the specified parcel post address W25G1U. Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC) Level 2 self-assessment is mandatory, and the item is flagged as a critical application. The original delivery date is January 26, 2027, but the needed ship date is August 22, 2026. The contractor must notify DLA if the hose has a shelf life and provide data for potential updates to packaging and acquisition requirements per MIL-STD-2073-1. The solicitation, issued under SPE7M4-26-T-220P, closed for responses on July 14, 2026, and is managed by the Department of Defense's Fluid Handling Division with Blake Tushar as the point of contact.
