BEARING, BALL, ANNULA

The Defense Logistics Agency awarded contract SPE4A626V6046 to Applied Industrial Technologies, Inc. (CAGE 4X136) on July 21, 2026, for a single line item of a ball annular bearing with National Stock Number 3110001177278, at a total contract value of $19,726.63. The procurement originated from solicitation SPE4A6-25-T-32BT, and the contract was modified under P00001, which became effective on December 31, 2025. Performance is conducted at the contractor’s facility in Blue Ash, Ohio, with delivery expected under an As Required Order (ARO) framework, though specific delivery timelines and FOB terms are not defined. The contract is classified under NAICS code 332991 and is administered by DLA Aviation in Richmond, Virginia, with oversight handled by DCMA Ohio River Valley. The sole special requirement embedded in the contract is FAR 52.222-90, Addressing DEI Discrimination by Federal Contractors, under Department of Defense Deviation 2026-00040, Revision 1, which mandates strict compliance with federal prohibitions on race-based DEI practices, requires mandatory flow-down to all subcontractors, and imposes reporting obligations on the contractor regarding discriminatory conduct by itself or its subcontractors, including litigation notifications and false claims compliance. No packaging, preservation, or marking standards are explicitly detailed, though the NSN and CAGE code must be included on labeling; MIL-STD references are absent from the documentation. Inspection and acceptance criteria are not defined, though government oversight responsibilities are assigned to the contracting officer and DCMA. Payment information, invoicing methods such as WAWF, COR/COTR details, and accounting data like TAS or ACRN lines are not provided in the available records. The award appears to be based on a Lowest-Priced Technically Acceptable evaluation, given the fixed price and lack of technical evaluation criteria. The contractor must maintain compliance with the DEI clause and provide access to records upon request, with noncompliance potentially leading to suspension or debarment. No socioeconomic certifications, size status representations, or additional contract options are indicated.
