Purchase Order SPE4A625PYD68

The U.S. Department of Defense Aviation, through the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA), awarded a $12,310.95 firm fixed-price purchase order to The Timken Corporation for the supply of a tapered roller bearing cup. This contract, awarded on August 8, 2025, with an ultimate completion date of May 8, 2026, represents a child delivery order under DLA Aviation's existing indefinite delivery vehicle agreements with Timken. The award was not designated as a set-aside contract, reflecting Timken's status as an established large business supplier to the federal government. The tapered roller bearing cup will be delivered to the Honea Path, South Carolina location, where Timken's manufacturing operations support the production of precision bearing components critical to military aviation maintenance and supply chain operations.

The Timken Corporation, headquartered in North Canton, Ohio, is a major manufacturer of engineered bearings and power transmission products with a long-standing relationship with DLA Aviation. As a primary supplier of high-precision mechanical components such as tapered roller bearings, bearing cones, cups, rollers, and related assemblies, Timken maintains several single-award indefinite delivery contracts with DLA Aviation with ceiling values ranging from $250,000 to nearly $5 million. This purchase order exemplifies the Defense Logistics Agency's strategy of issuing firm fixed-price delivery orders against these established contracts to efficiently procure specialized bearing components that support the operational readiness of military aircraft and ground vehicles across the Department of Defense inventory.
