RETAINER, ROLLER, BEA

This contract pertains to the procurement of a retainer, roller bearing designated by NSN 3110-01-685-3005 and part number 842-349225-3, with a requirement for 14 units delivered FOB origin within 592 days. The item is classified as a critical application part for Boeing and is subject to stringent technical, quality, and packaging standards, including compliance with MIL-STD-1916 or ASQ H1331 for sampling, with zero non-conformances required unless otherwise specified. Supply chain traceability documentation must be retained per DLA Directive C03 from August 2016, and configuration change management procedures apply. Packaging must adhere to MIL-STD-2073-1E and MIL-DTL-197M, with preservation methods and materials determined by bearing type and closure, and marking must follow MIL-STD-129. The bearing is not subject to a shelf life requirement, and FAA airworthiness approval and unique identification are not required per the service customer’s request. All bearings must be manufactured in the United States, its outlying areas, or Canada, with over 50% of the total cost of bearing components—such as rolling elements, retainer, inner race, or outer race—originating from these locations, as mandated by DFARS 252.225-7016. Contractors are required to submit a declaration affirming the domestic or foreign origin of materials, which must be produced using the official DLA form available via the Foreign Bearing Waiver website; failure to provide this documentation will disqualify the offer. If no compliant bids are received, the solicitation may be canceled or held pending a waiver request. The contract includes specific CDRLs related to airworthiness and conformance certification for FAA-certified parts, and all units must be palletized per DLA packaging requirements without any quantity variance allowed. The point of contact for inquiries is Jamie Bonda at the Department of Defense, under the ASC Supplier Oper OEM Division, with delivery destined for Tinker AFB.
