BEARING, BALL, ANNULAR

The solicitation calls for the delivery of 91 ball annular bearings with NSN 3110-00-861-4605 under contract SPE4A6-26-T-09BT, with a total delivery window of 590 days from award. A critical requirement mandates the contractor to submit three units of the item within 180 calendar days of contract execution for first article testing at Tinker Air Force Base, where government personnel will evaluate compliance. The contracting officer must issue written notification of approval, conditional approval, or disapproval within 240 calendar days after receiving the test units, and disposition of the test articles must follow FAR provisions. Fast Pay is not applicable, and no additive manufacturing processes are permitted unless explicitly approved by the contracting officer. Offerors must confirm compliance with the Berry Amendment and Buy American Act, disclosing any non-domestic materials, and must not supply covered telecommunications equipment as defined under FAR 52.204-24 and DFARS 252.204-7016. Small business joint ventures must provide specific representations for eligibility categories. Offerors are strongly encouraged to quote quantity ranges due to fluctuating demand, though auto IDC is exempt. Vendors must register via DLA’s AMPS system to access the Vendor Shipment Module and comply with updated schema requirements for WebServices. A “No Bid” submission on DIBBS is required if quoting after the closing date to avoid assumption of non-responsiveness, and all submissions must include current dealer or distributor certification details.
