Sources Sought- Motor Bearings

Tobyhanna Army Depot is conducting market research through a Request for Information to identify U.S.-based manufacturers capable of producing commercial-grade motor bearings for brushless DC motors used in small uncrewed aircraft systems. This is strictly an informational gathering effort and does not constitute a solicitation, invitation to quote, or a commitment to award a contract. The desired component is a 685-ZZ 11x5x5mm shielded motor bearing, with full technical specifications detailed in an attached document titled "Minimum Specification for Motor Bearings," which respondents must reference when submitting their capabilities statements. Responses must be submitted electronically in Microsoft Word or PDF format via email to Marissa Brodi at [email hidden] no later than 12:00 p.m. Eastern Daylight Time on June 29, 2026. No classified materials are permitted, submissions will not be returned, and no funding is available to cover the cost of preparing responses. The NAICS code associated with this effort is 332991, and the place of performance is Tobyhanna, Pennsylvania. The procurement office, W6QK Acc-Apg Cont Ct Tyad Ofc, is the sole point of contact, with no designated contracting officer, COR, or COTR identified at this stage. All packaging, preservation, marking, inspection, and quality standards are referenced solely through the unattached minimum specification document and no formal FAR clauses, evaluation factors, pricing data, or contract administration details are included because this is not a competitive procurement action. Participation is entirely voluntary, no representations or certifications such as UEI, CAGE, or small business status are required, and the government retains no obligation to proceed with a future solicitation based on the responses received.
