BEARING, BALL, DUPLEX

The U.S. Defense Logistics Agency Aviation, located in Richmond, Virginia, has awarded a sole-source contract under solicitation SPE4A626Q0759 for the procurement of 357 duplex ball bearings identified by NSN 3110-01-222-1665. This acquisition is justified under 10 U.S.C. 3204(a)(1) as a limited source transaction, as market research yielded no responsive sources, supporting the determination that competition is not practicable. The item is classified as a commercial item under FAR 2.101 with an AMSC code of “B,” indicating it is a standard commercial product with established quality controls, though technical data availability is restricted. The place of performance is Grassy Creek, Virginia, and while no formal delivery schedule or FOB terms are specified, acceptance is implied to occur at that location. Pricing details including unit cost and total contract value are not provided, and no CLINs, SLINs, or funding codes (AAC, TAS, ACRN) are included in the documentation. The contract does not include options for term extension, but an option to increase quantity is referenced with blank dollar values. The award is not based on a formal trade-off or LPTA evaluation, but rather on the determination of fair and reasonable pricing under FAR 15.404, with no technical evaluation criteria or past performance factors outlined. The contracting officer, Stephen Lunsford, certified the action on May 19, 2026, following a synopsis posted on March 7, 2026. No formal contract clauses are included in the documentation, and no submission instructions, proposal formats, or response deadlines are specified beyond requiring electronic submission via SAM.gov. There is no mention of packaging requirements, inspection standards, COTR duties, payment instructions, or invoicing methods, and no offeror representations, certifications, or socioeconomic status information are applicable as this is a government-prepared justification rather than a competitive solicitation.
