BEARING, BALL, SPECIA

The contract SPE4A626P7186, awarded by the Defense Logistics Agency to Jamaica Bearings Co., Inc. (CAGE 04836) on July 17, 2026, is a low-value award totaling $19,450.00 for a single line item: a ball bearing with NSN 3110011522295. Although the solicitation SPE4A6-24-T-04QZ issued in 2024 provided the basis for procurement, the contract itself is structured as a modification of an earlier agreement dated November 24, 2025, with no detailed breakdown of quantity, unit price, or delivery schedule. The primary focus of the contract is not on the physical delivery of bearings but on compliance with federal procurement reform and anti-discrimination mandates, particularly through the inclusion of FAR clause 52.222-90, Addressing DEI Discrimination by Federal Contractors, as modified by DoD Class Deviation 2026-00040, Revision 1. This clause imposes stringent reporting obligations on the contractor, requiring immediate notification to the Contracting Officer of any non-compliance, subcontractor violations, or legal challenges to the clause, along with mandatory flowdown of the clause to all subcontracts, except those performed entirely outside the United States. The contractor is also subject to materiality provisions under the False Claims Act for failures to comply. Administrative details indicate the contracting office is located in Richmond, Virginia, with Dean Allen listed as the Contracting Officer, though no Contracting Officer’s Representative is named, and no payment, invoicing, or accounting data such as AAC, TAS, or ACRN is provided. Packaging, marking, inspection, acceptance, or performance location details are absent from the documentation, and no MIL-STD standards or technical specifications are referenced. The NAICS code 332991 is cited, but no socioeconomic certifications, small business status, or unique entity ID are explicitly confirmed, and the award appears to be based on compliance eligibility rather than technical evaluation, as no evaluation factors or source selection methodology are documented. Delivery is presumed to occur within the United States, with the contractor’s address noted in New Hyde Park, New York, and oversight potentially coordinated through DCMA Northeast at Hanscom AFB, Massachusetts.
