Purchase Order SPE4A625PS584

The U.S. Department of Defense Aviation, through the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA), awarded a $24,776 firm fixed-price purchase order to Timken Co for the supply of annular ball bearings. The contract, which commenced on May 14, 2025, carries an ultimate completion date of February 10, 2027, with manufacturing and performance activities centered at Timken's facility in Rutherfordton, North Carolina. No small business set-aside was applied to this procurement. Timken Co, a division of The Timken Company and a leading manufacturer of precision bearings and mechanical power transmission products, is a well-established supplier to the Department of Defense with a SAM.gov registration dating to 2002.

This award reflects DLA Aviation's ongoing procurement of critical mechanical components to support military equipment maintenance and repair across the defense supply chain. Timken Co has previously secured multiple Indefinite Delivery Contracts with DLA Aviation for various bearing types, with ceiling values ranging up to approximately $1.8 million, underscoring the company's strategic importance as a domestic supplier of specialized bearing components for military platforms including aircraft, naval vessels, and ground vehicles. The relatively modest value of this particular order is consistent with typical task order sizes under DLA's established bearing supply agreements.
