BEARING, PLAIN, SPHER

The Defense Logistics Agency awarded a firm-fixed-price contract totaling $26,400 to MECHATRONICS, INC. (CAGE 5V122) for the delivery of six spherical plain bearings identified by NSN 3120014961804, with delivery required by November 8, 2026. The contract, issued under solicitation SPE4A6-26-T-52J3 and designated as a purchase order under a pre-existing vehicle, specifies FOB Origin terms with title transferring at the contractor’s facility in Preston, Washington, and final delivery to the DLA Distribution facility in New Cumberland, Pennsylvania. Performance is subject to stringent packaging and preservation standards, including MIL-STD-2073-1E and RP001 for palletization, MIL-STD-129 for marking, and QUP:001 configuration requirements, with no Item Unique Identification (IUID) required. The contract mandates compliance with a comprehensive set of FAR and DFARS clauses, including cybersecurity safeguards under 52.204-21 and 252.204-7012, supply chain security prohibitions related to Kaspersky, ByteDance, and other covered entities, and trafficking in persons and labor rights protections. The contractor must adhere to higher-level quality standards, potentially including ISO 9001:2015, and facilitate government inspection and acceptance at the origin. Payment will be processed electronically via Wide Area WorkFlow, with invoicing governed by clause 252.232-7006. The award is subject to DPAS prioritization and includes specific security exclusions and data handling restrictions. Although not explicitly stated, the absence of trade-off evaluation factors and the mandatory nature of all requirements strongly suggest an Lowest Price Technically Acceptable (LPTA) source selection approach. The contracting officer, Ricardo Robinson, and administrative support contact Tony Phu are the primary points of contact, with no designated COR or COTR named. Deviations were applied to 52.203-19 and 52.252-6, and Alternate I versions of several clauses are in effect.
