BEARING, BALL, ANNULA

The Defense Logistics Agency awarded a fixed-price contract to PRIDE ELECTRONICS INC (CAGE 7N929) for the procurement of two ball bearings, part number NSN 3110-01-515-3898, under solicitation SPE4A6-26-Q-0699, with a total contract value of $548.00. The award was issued on July 8, 2026, following a simplified acquisition process governed by FAR 13.5, which emphasized a best-value trade-off approach prioritizing past performance—particularly SPRS assessments, historical quality, and delivery compliance—over price, though cost remains a significant consideration. The contract requires delivery within 36 days after order placement, with FOB origin terms, and mandates strict adherence to military packaging and preservation standards including MIL-DTL-197M and MIL-STD-129, specifying packaging level B, preservation methods based on bearing characteristics, and detailed labeling with NSN, contract number, and special requirements in bold. Inspection and acceptance occur at the contractor’s source location, and all items must comply with DLA’s technical and quality requirements as outlined in RA001 and DFARS. The contractor is subject to stringent cybersecurity controls under DFARS 252.204-7012 and NIST SP 800-171, requiring immediate reporting of cyber incidents, safeguarding of Controlled Unclassified Information, and flow-down of security obligations to subcontractors. Payment must be processed electronically through WAWF using EFT, with prompt payment discounts and accelerated payments to small business subcontractors applicable. The contract includes clauses addressing export controls, counterfeit electronic part detection, prohibition on covered telecommunications equipment, and disputes resolution under applicable state law. All representations, including UEI, CAGE code, small business status, and compliance with telecommunications restrictions, were required at proposal submission. No option quantities, extensions, or additional line items are included, and the contract is fully defined with no flexibility in quantity or pricing.
