The item must be sourced exclusively from either SKF USA INC or BELL TEXTRON INC using part number 214-040-849-105, and it is not classified as a commercial item, meaning FAR Part 15 governs the acquisition process rather than FAR Part 12.

The solicitation will be publicly accessible via DIBBS no later than June 24, 2026, though posting may be delayed by up to three business days; no technical drawings or hard copies are available. Proposals must be submitted exclusively through DIBBS using the platform’s “Offer” button, or via email to [email hidden], with a strict 15 MB size limit per email—larger files must be split across multiple transmissions. Evaluation of offers will follow best value criteria, weighing Price, Past Performance, Socioeconomic Participation, and Delivery, with all submissions required in English and in U.S. dollars. The acquisition may be subject to the Trade Agreements Act of 1979, potentially allowing foreign suppliers from signatory nations to participate. The response deadline is July 27, 2026, at 19:00 UTC, and inquiries should be directed to MAJ George Sawyer at the Department of Defense, DLA Land and Maritime office in Columbus, Ohio.
