BEARING, SLEEVE

The contract is for the procurement of one sleeve bearing, identified by NSN 3120-01-418-0810, under a Firm Fixed Price solicitation issued by the Defense Logistics Agency’s Aviation Commodity Division. The requirement is set aside exclusively for Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business concerns, with full compliance mandated for small business subcontracting, limitations on subcontracting, and socioeconomic representation requirements. The contract mandates adherence to stringent technical and quality standards outlined in the DLA Master List of Technical and Quality Requirements, with inspections conducted at the origin under RQ009, and acceptance governed by MIL-STD-1916 or an equivalent zero-based sampling plan requiring zero nonconformances for acceptance unless otherwise specified. Technical data associated with the item is subject to export controls under ITAR or EAR, restricting disclosure to foreign persons and requiring prior authorization; only contractors approved under the US/Canada Joint Certification Program and trained in DOD export-controlled data handling are permitted access. Packaging and marking must strictly conform to MIL-STD-2073-1E and MIL-STD-129, with specific preservation codes and unit container specifications detailed, and IUID marking is not required. Compliance with CMMC Level 2 is mandatory, requiring either a self-assessment or third-party certification, and adherence to all applicable FAR clauses including Buy American, Trade Agreements, labor standards, paid sick leave, minimum wage requirements, and prohibitions against trafficking and covered applications like TikTok. Delivery is due 276 days after order placement, with FOB Destination terms applying, and all shipments must occur within the continental United States. The contractor must maintain complete supply chain traceability and remove all government identifiers from non-accepted items. Invoicing and payment processing are exclusively via the Wide Area WorkFlow system, and proposals must be submitted electronically through DIBBS or via email, adhering to a 15 MB file size limit, with a response deadline of August 3, 2026. The evaluation will be based on a best-value trade-off between technical capability, past performance—most heavily weighted by SPRS ratings—and price, without use of LPTA.
