Q1: where can blue hose as used for a sump pump on a 1969 NAUSET [16] be purchased?
BACKSTORY
The original blue hose for the sump pump on my 1969 NAUSET 16 needs replacement.

That blue hose original to a 1969 NAUSET 16 had a 57-year service life. If you can find that same brand you’ll be set through 2083, and the NAUSET will be 114-years-old.
Q2: is having the replacement hose use the color blue an important element in the search?

Well, the original hose lasted 57 years (with some taped repairs), but sadly I think that is the end.
Good news (and posting in case it is helpful to others), I found an option on Amazon that is a bit darker, but close enough:
