This solicitation is for the procurement of 53 units of a seat bearing with NSN 3110013483016, identified as a commercial item and designated as a GE PBL item, under contract number SPE4A6-26-T-07QT. The item must be manufactured in the United States, its outlying areas, or Canada, with at least 50% of the bearing component costs arising from these regions; a contractor declaration on domestic content is mandatory and failure to provide it may disqualify the quote. The bearing is classified as a critical application item and must comply with tailored higher-level quality requirements, including sampling per MIL-STD-1916 or ASQ H1331 Table 1, with zero non-conformances required unless otherwise specified. Attributes are to be classified as critical, major, or minor with corresponding verification levels and AQLs of VII/0.1, IV/1.0, and II/4.0 respectively. Packaging must meet MIL-STD-2073-1E with preservation method 41, clean and dry preparation, and no protective materials; marking must follow MIL-STD-129 with a special marking code of 00-00 indicating no additional markings beyond standard requirements. Palletization adheres to DLA’s RP001 packaging standards. Delivery is FOB origin to the DDSP New Cumberland Facility in Pennsylvania, with acceptance and inspection occurring at destination after a 546-day period following award, and delivery must occur no later than October 14, 2026. The contract includes standard FAR and DFARS clauses covering equal opportunity, combating trafficking in persons, employment eligibility, sustainable products, hazardous materials, cybersecurity, supply chain restrictions, and subcontracting, many of which are subject to deviation codes. The contract type remains unspecified but falls under simplified acquisition procedures, and pricing information is not provided in the solicitation, requiring offerors to submit their own unit prices. All submissions must be made electronically via DIBBS by the July 27, 2026 deadline, and the contractor must maintain compliance with unique entity identifier, CAGE code, and socioeconomic representation requirements, particularly if claiming small business or other socioeconomic status. Failure to meet sourcing compliance, quality, packaging, or submission requirements may result in disqualification or cancellation of the solicitation.
