31 -- #3 Roller Bearing

This contract pertains to the qualification requirements for the procurement of a specific part identified as the #3 Roller Bearing, with NSN 3110-00-597-0180NY and part number 9139M40P02, manufactured by MRC Bearing. Due to the part's complexity and critical application, approval is restricted to original manufacturers who have successfully completed all necessary testing established by the original design company. Only these certified manufacturers are considered qualified sources for this item. The qualification requirements are detailed in the OC-ALC Source Approval Information Booklet, which interested parties can request in writing from the Small Business Office at Tinker Air Force Base by mail, fax, or email; telephone requests are not accepted. This notice is a sources sought announcement rather than a solicitation for proposal, meaning it is intended to identify qualified manufacturers and not to solicit bids. The contract details, such as issue or response dates, are not applicable. The announcement lacks information on set-aside status or specific NAICS codes, and no particular agency or office contact information is provided beyond instructions for requesting the qualification requirements booklet. This ensures careful control over the distribution of sensitive technical specifications due to the critical nature of the bearing part.
