BEARING, BALL, ANNULAR

The contract solicitation SPE4A6-26-T-06GE seeks 17 annular ball bearings with part number AA59585-205JEBX, identified by NSN 3110008751539, under a commercial item designation that includes commercial off-the-shelf specifications. Delivery is required within 20 days of award, with FOB origin terms, inspection and acceptance to occur at the manufacturer’s location, and all packaging, preservation, and marking strictly governed by MIL-STD-2073-1E, MIL-DTL-197M, and MIL-STD-129. Preservation methods must align with bearing type and closure as defined in MIL-DTL-197M’s technical tables, with lubrication specified as VERSILUBE G-351 for this part. The contractor’s packaging facility must comply with quality assurance verification per Section 4 of MIL-DTL-197M, and all items must be palletized and labeled in accordance with DLA-specific packaging requirements and special marking codes. A critical sourcing restriction under DFARS 252.225-7016 mandates that the bearing be manufactured in the United States, its outlying areas, or Canada, and that over 50% of the total cost of all bearing components—rolling elements, retainer, inner race, and outer race—must originate from these regions. Contractors must submit a completed Declaration Form, obtainable from the DLA Foreign Bearing Waiver website, to demonstrate compliance; failure to provide this documentation will result in disqualification. The solicitation is subject to automated award consideration, and pricing is evaluated under a price-driven mechanism, though no unit or total price is specified in the offer. Compliance with FAR and DFARS clauses including Equal Opportunity, Combating Trafficking in Persons, Employment Eligibility Verification, Hazardous Materials Identification, and NIST SP 800-171 cybersecurity requirements is mandatory. Offerors must hold a valid Unique Entity ID and CAGE code, and represent their small business status and socioeconomic certifications through SAM.gov. All proposals must be submitted electronically via the DLA Internet Bid Board System by the deadline of August 4, 2026, and any resulting contract will use WAWF for all invoicing and receiving report submissions. Failure to meet any technical, quality, or sourcing mandates may lead to cancellation or waiver requests pending further review
