BEARING, BALL, ANNULAR

This solicitation is for the procurement of 20 annular ball bearings, specifically identified by NSN 3110-00-020-9330 and part numbers associated with Kaydon Corporation. The contract is issued by the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) with a required delivery window of 168 days. This is a source-controlled requirement, meaning the items must be manufactured and tested in strict accordance with specific technical data and drawings. Because the government cannot provide the necessary data, only vendors with access to the required technical data or proven traceability to approved sources should submit quotes. A critical component of this contract is the strict domestic sourcing restriction on ball and roller bearings. To be eligible for award, the bearings must be manufactured in the United States, its outlying areas, or Canada, and more than 50% of the total cost of the bearing components must originate from these locations. Contractors are required to submit a formal declaration regarding the domestic or foreign nature of the materials offered. Additionally, the contract mandates specific quality, packaging, and marking standards, including adherence to MIL-STD-129 for marking and MIL-DTL-197M for preservation and packaging. Inspection and acceptance will occur at the point of origin.
