SEAT, BEARING

This contract solicits 18 seat bearings with NSN 3110-00-916-9273 under solicitation number SPE4A6-26-T-06MS, requiring delivery within five days FOB origin with no quantity variance allowed. The bearings must comply with stringent technical and quality standards referenced from the DLA Master List, including packaging per MIL-STD-2073-1E and MIL-DTL-197M, preservation methods tailored to bearing type and closure, and marking in accordance with MIL-STD-129 without special markings. Inspection and acceptance occur at origin, and all packaging must adhere to DLA-specific requirements for preservation, protection, and palletization. A mandatory domestic sourcing restriction under DFARS 252.225-7016 requires that each bearing be manufactured in the United States, its outlying areas, or Canada, with over 50% of the total cost of components—rolling elements, retainer, inner race, or outer race—originating from these regions. Contractors must submit a signed declaration verifying the domestic content of materials, available via the DLA Foreign Bearing Waiver website; failure to provide this documentation disqualifies the quote. If no compliant offers are received, the solicitation may be canceled or held pending a waiver request. The item is classified as critical application, linked to Oshkosh Defense and Allison Transmission, and falls under NAICS code 332991. All terms are governed by DLA policies, and the point of contact is Angela Mills at the ASC Commodities Division.
