BEARING, BALL, AIRFRAME

This contract specifies the procurement of a ball bearing for airframe applications under solicitation SPE4A6-26-T-37T2, with the part number MKSP4AFS464 and NSN 3110-00-890-5216, supplied exclusively by RBC Aircraft Products, Inc. (CAGE 3NPS1). The item is classified as a commercial item and is subject to stringent technical and quality requirements referenced from the DLA Master List, including SAE AS9100 for quality management and MIL-STD-2073-1E and MIL-DTL-197M for packaging, preservation, and marking. The bearing must be manufactured in the United States, its outlying areas, or Canada, with over 50% of the cost of all components—rolling elements, retainer, inner race, and outer race—originating from these locations, as mandated by DFARS 252.225-7016. A contractor declaration attesting to domestic content is required and must be submitted upon request; failure to provide it may disqualify the offer. The contract also enforces CMMC Level 2 self-assessment compliance for cybersecurity and requires adherence to configuration control, inspection at origin, and removal of government identification from non-accepted items. The order calls for nine units to be delivered within 74 days FOB origin, with no tolerance for quantity variance. Packaging must conform to DLA standards, including MIL-STD-129 for marking, and all preservation methods must align with MIL-DTL-197M, with procedures tailored to bearing type, closure, and lubricant as detailed in its tables. The item is designated as critical for application and subject to configuration control, requiring engineering change proposals for any design modifications. Delivery must be palletized according to DLA packaging requirements, and all documentation must reflect the designated unit of issue. The procurement is managed by the Department of Defense’s ASC Commodities Division, with Justin Willcox as the primary point of contact. Should no compliant offers be received, the solicitation may be cancelled or held pending a waiver review under DFARS 225.7009-4.
