HOSE ASSEMBLY, NONMETALLIC

This is a restricted-source procurement for a nonmetallic hose assembly with NSN 4720-01-628-2062, requiring engineering source approval from the government design control activity. The item necessitates specialized manufacturing processes including casting or forging, which may involve unique tooling not held by the government; sourcing support must be requested through the DLA Casting and Forging Assistance Program. Compliance with DLA Master List technical and quality requirements is mandatory, and configuration change management through Engineering Change Proposals or variance requests is strictly enforced. Cybersecurity requirements under CMMC Level 2 Self-Assessment apply, and the item is subject to Covered Defense Information protocols. Packaging must adhere to DLA standards, and shelf-life markings per MIL-STD-129 are required, clearly indicating cure and expiration dates calculated from the rubber/elastomer cure date. The solicitation SPE7M4-26-T-288Y mandates comprehensive documentation per MIL-T-31000, including all manufacturing drawings, detailed process and inspection operation sheets, and identification of all sources performing critical operations such as castings and forgings. A shock extension report compliant with MIL-S-901 and DI-ENVR-80706 is required, and if original OEM drawings are unavailable, the offeror must submit a full engineering analysis detailing how their version was developed, including reverse engineering methodology, sample sizes, measurement techniques, data compiled, and justifications for any dimensional deviations. Delivery is due in 253 days after award, with 36 units required for performance at Tinker AFB. The offer deadline is August 7, 2026, and inquiries should be directed to Blake Tushar at DLA’s Fluid Handling Division.
