BEARING, BALL, ANNULAR

The Defense Logistics Agency awarded a fixed-price contract to INTERCONTINENTAL BEARING SUPPLY (CAGE 1X797) for the procurement of 10 annular ball bearings, identified by NSN 3110002787203, under solicitation SPE4A6-26-T-51L6. The total contract value is $4,555.40, with delivery required at Robins Air Force Base, Georgia, on or before December 5, 2026, under FOB Origin terms, meaning title and risk of loss pass to the government upon shipment from the contractor’s facility. The contract includes mandatory compliance with stringent packaging, preservation, and marking standards outlined in MIL-STD-2073-1E, MIL-DTL-197M, and MIL-STD-129, with specific preservation codes to be selected by the contractor within defined parameters. Barcoding is required per MIL-STD-129, but Item Unique Identification is not mandated. The contractor must adhere to all applicable cybersecurity requirements, including NIST SP 800-171 controls, DFARS 252.204-7012 for safeguarding covered defense information, and DFARS 252.204-7020 for assessment reporting through SPRS, which is a mandatory pass-fail criterion for award eligibility. Domestic sourcing restrictions under DFARS 225.7009-4 apply, prohibiting foreign-sourced ball bearings unless specifically authorized, and the contractor must certify compliance with federal regulations regarding employment eligibility, human trafficking, equal opportunity, and hazardous material labeling in accordance with 29 CFR 1910.1200. Invoicing must be processed exclusively through Wide Area WorkFlow, and inspection and acceptance occur at the destination under FAR 52.246-2. The solicitation anticipates an automated award using a Lowest Price Technically Acceptable methodology, where failure to meet any mandatory technical, cybersecurity, or sourcing requirement disqualifies an offeror regardless of price. All contractual obligations are governed by numerous FAR and DFARS clauses, including those addressing government property, whistleblower rights, subcontracting, and payment liens, with no formal attachments list provided but multiple standards incorporated by reference.
