Quick Summary
The Department of the Navy, specifically NAVSUP Weapon Systems Support Mechanicsburg, has issued a Solicitation for HOSE ASSEMBLY, SPECI (PSC 4720 - Hose And Flexible Tubing). This opportunity is for Special Emphasis Material (Level I, Scope of Certification, or Quality Assured) for crucial shipboard systems, designated as a "DX" rated order under the Defense Priorities and Allocations System (DPAS) and issued under Emergency Acquisition Flexibilities (EAF). The solicitation includes an amendment adding performance payments and updating DODAAC information. Responses are due by April 24, 2026.
Scope of Work
The requirement is for hose assemblies designed in accordance with Aeroquip Corporation drawing 678619, size 1/2 inch, part number 678619-8-4800. Key aspects include:
- Hydrostatic testing of hose nipples to 10,000 PSIG or air underwater to 100 PSIG for a minimum of 5 minutes, with no leakage allowed.
- Material requirements for specific parts (Nipples, Sleeve, Socket, Retainers, Socket Segment) to conform to SAE-AMS-QQ-S-763 Class 304, SAE-AMS-6349, and SAE-AMS-S-6758, with 304 Corrosion Resistant Steel passivated per AMS2700 Method 1 Type 7.
