HOSE, NONMETALLIC

The contract is for the procurement of one foot of nonmetallic hose with NSN 4720016435803 under solicitation SPE7M4-26-T-289X, issued by the Department of Defense’s Fluid Handling Division. Delivery is required within 20 days of award to the USS AMERICA LHA 6 at FPO AP 96660, with FOB destination terms placing all transportation risk and cost on the contractor. The quantity is fixed at one foot with a permitted variance of up to plus ten percent and zero percent reduction. Packaging must strictly adhere to MIL-STD-2073-1E with air drying as the preservation method and no preservation materials used; marking must comply with MIL-STD-129 including barcoding, with no special marking required. The item must be free of ozone-depleting chemicals, and any substitute chemicals must be pre-approved unless explicitly authorized by specifications. Supply chain traceability documentation must be retained per DLA Directive Procurement Note C03. The contractor must ensure compliance with all technical and quality requirements referenced from the DLA Master List of Technical and Quality Requirements, including hazard communication standards under OSHA 29 CFR 1910.1200, and must submit Safety Data Sheets for any hazardous materials involved. Inspection and acceptance occur at the delivery point by the government. Payment must be processed electronically through Wide Area WorkFlow, and the contractor must hold a valid Unique Entity Identifier and CAGE code. The solicitation incorporates multiple FAR and DFARS clauses covering equal opportunity, anti-trafficking, employment eligibility, sustainable products, hazardous material identification, whistleblower rights, cybersecurity requirements under NIST SP 800-171, and subcontractor controls, with no set-aside specified. Proposal submission is mandatory through DIBBS by August 11, 2026, with no alternative methods accepted. The unit price listed as $1.000 is likely erroneous; historical pricing for this NSN suggests an estimated contract value between $42.54 and $60.63 based on allowable quantity variance. The contract type remains unspecified but is presumed to be firm-fixed-price given the context of a simplified acquisition.
