Domestic Component Supply for Bearings (U.S./Canada Sourced Parts)

The contract requires the supply of critical bearing components such as races, balls, and cages that must be manufactured in the United States, its outlying areas, or Canada, with more than half of the total component cost originating from these regions to comply with DFARS 252.225-7016 standards for domestic sourcing. All components must meet strict origin requirements to ensure compliance with federal defense procurement regulations, and the subcontractor must verify and document the country of origin for all materials and manufacturing processes involved. This is a small business set-aside contract, meaning only businesses certified as small by the Small Business Administration are eligible to bid, and the North American Industry Classification System code 332211 identifies the industry as bearing and roller manufacturing. The solicitation was posted on July 28, 2026, with a response deadline of August 11, 2026, giving potential bidders approximately two weeks to submit proposals. The ordering agency is the ASC Commodities Division under the Department of Defense, and the place of performance and point of contact details are unspecified, suggesting fulfillment may occur at various locations as long as the domestic sourcing criteria are met. The contract is structured as a subcontract, indicating the awarded vendor may supply components to a prime contractor fulfilling a larger defense procurement requirement. Bidders must ensure their production and supply chain practices fully align with the specified origin rules to qualify for award.
