Purchase Order SPE4A626P1630

The Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Aviation awarded a firm fixed-price purchase order to The Timken Corporation on December 17, 2025, for the procurement of tapered roller bearing cones and rollers under National Stock Number 3110009016849. The contract, valued at $68,436.60 with an ultimate completion date of February 24, 2027, originated from a Request for Quote solicitation posted July 29, 2025, seeking 60 units of cone and roller assemblies manufactured to source-controlled drawing specifications (60038 SB3202A3). This award was not designated as a set-aside contract, allowing all qualified manufacturers in the precision bearing sector to compete. The work will be performed at Timken's New Philadelphia, Ohio facility.

As a large, established defense contractor and critical supplier to DLA Aviation, The Timken Corporation provides specialized bearing components essential to military aviation maintenance and supply chain operations. This purchase order represents a delivery order against Timken's broader indefinite delivery contract vehicle with DLA Aviation, enabling the government to efficiently procure high-precision mechanical components supporting the operational readiness of military aircraft and ground vehicles. The eight-day solicitation response window and relatively modest contract ceiling reflect a routine procurement for standard bearing components with established supplier capability and quality assurance processes.
