HOSE, PREFORMED

The contract, awarded to JO-KELL INC. under contract number SPE7M425P4204, involves the procurement of a single line item: a preformed hose with NSN 4720-01-354-5651, with a total value of $18,570.00. The award was issued on July 31, 2026, under simplified acquisition procedures outlined in FAR 13.302(a), indicating a low-value, streamlined procurement process. A modification, P00001, extended the delivery date for this item from December 17, 2025, to November 24, 2026, due to supplier delays, though no quantities, unit prices, or pricing structure are specified in the available documentation. The contracting office is DLA Land and Maritime, Fluid Handling Division, located in Columbus, Ohio, with Jessica Mendoza serving as the initiating point of contact and Jamie White as the contracting officer. No contract type, FOB terms, or place of delivery is explicitly defined, though the contractor’s address is listed as Chesapeake, Virginia. The contract lacks detailed technical specifications, packaging requirements, inspection criteria, or quality standards beyond reference to the NSN, suggesting compliance is expected against underlying military specifications not included in the award package. No far clauses are listed in Section I, and no representations, certifications, or socioeconomic status information from the offeror are provided in Section K, though the NAICS code 332919 confirms the contractor operates in fabricated metal product manufacturing. The absence of a formal Section C, D, E, or H indicates minimal contractual detail, consistent with simplified acquisitions where administrative efficiency takes precedence over comprehensive documentation. Payment is to be handled by DLA Land and Maritime, but invoicing procedures and accounting codes are not specified. Delivery is managed through a modification process under FAR authority, and while there is no explicit COR or COTR identified, the government retains inspection and acceptance authority. No attachments, technical exhibits, or evaluation factors are included in the record, and the award appears to have been based on lowest price technically acceptable criteria without formal scoring or competition beyond the solicitation process.
