HOSE MONSTER

The opportunity is for the procurement of flow-test equipment, specifically the Hose Monster, for the certification of graving docks at Puget Sound Naval Shipyard. The equipment is required to maintain certification and ensure fleet readiness. The sole source justification is due to the proprietary technology and the need for compatibility with existing systems. The required items include 6 Hose Monsters, 18 pressure gauges, and 16 discharge hoses. • The equipment must be compatible with existing saltwater systems at the graving docks. • The Hose Monster is patented technology, limiting competition. • The procurement is necessary to fulfill an audit item and maintain certification.
