Precision Miniature Ball Bearing Manufacturing

The contract is for the manufacturing of commercial-grade, shielded, miniature ball bearings designated as 685-ZZ, measuring 11x5x5mm, specifically engineered for use in brushless DC motors integrated into small uncrewed aircraft systems. The work encompasses precision machining to exacting tolerances, careful selection of high-performance materials suitable for demanding aerospace environments, application of specialized lubrication systems to ensure long-term reliability under extreme conditions, and rigorous quality control processes to meet stringent military and industrial standards. All components must be produced with consistent dimensional accuracy and operational integrity to support mission-critical flight performance. This is a subcontract opportunity under NAICS code 332992, posted by the Department of Defense through the W6QK Acc-Apg Cont Ct Tyad Ofc office, with performance required at Tobyhanna, Pennsylvania, ZIP code 18466. The solicitation was published on June 23, 2026, and responses are due by June 29, 2026, at 4:00 PM. Although no set-aside designation is specified, the nature of the work implies compliance with defense supply chain requirements, and qualified manufacturers must demonstrate proven capability in producing precision bearings for aerospace applications with documented quality assurance systems.
