BEARING, ROLLER, CYLI

The Defense Logistics Agency awarded contract SPE4A626PA268 to Applied Industrial Technologies, Inc. (CAGE 4X136) on July 21, 2026, under solicitation SPE4A6-26-T-023B for a total value of $266,600. The contract specifies the delivery of a single line item: Roller Bearing, Cylinder (NSN 3110011891358), with performance to occur at the contractor’s facility in Blue Ash, Ohio. The award was processed via a contract modification using Standard Form 30, and while the contract type is not explicitly stated, it is consistent with a Firm-Fixed-Price arrangement typical for standardized military components. The contract incorporates FAR 52.222-90, Addressing DEI Discrimination by Federal Contractors, under DoD Class Deviation 2026-00040, Revision 1, which mandates non-discrimination in employment practices related to diversity, equity, and inclusion initiatives, requires flowdown of this clause to all subcontractors, and imposes reporting obligations for known violations or legal challenges to the clause. The contractor must provide access to records and notify the Contracting Officer of any subcontractor noncompliance or litigation. The place of performance is within the United States, and no international delivery or foreign subcontracting is permitted under this clause. While the contract includes administrative details such as the paying office in Richmond, Virginia, and the administering office DCMA Ohio River Valley, critical technical information is absent: there are no specified packaging, marking, preservation, or inspection standards; no bar-coding or MIL-STD references; no detailed delivery schedule or FOB terms; and no invoicing or payment method outlined. No evaluation factors, weights, or basis of award are documented, though the nature of the single-item procurement suggests a Lowest Price Technically Acceptable approach. The contractor’s size status is not certified, and while the NAICS code 332991 applies to bearing and bushing manufacturing, no socioeconomic certifications were provided. The UEI is not listed, and no attachments, warranties, or technical specifications are included in the available documentation. The Contracting Officer, Dean Allen, and point of contact Carl Allen, both reachable via CARL.ALLEN@DLA.MIL, oversee administration, but noCOR or COTR is identified. The contract lacks any option
