Purchase Order SPE4A626PA565

The U.S. Department of Defense awarded a $6,039.76 firm fixed-price purchase order to Roller Bearing Company of America, Inc., doing business as Heim Bearings Company, for the procurement of plain rod end bearings. The contract was awarded on December 22, 2025, with an ultimate completion date of June 10, 2026, and will be performed in Fairfield, Connecticut. No set-aside provisions were utilized for this award. As a specialized bearing components manufacturer headquartered in Connecticut, Heim Bearings Company serves as a critical supplier to the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Aviation, supporting the maintenance and operational readiness of military aircraft and ground vehicles across all Department of Defense service branches.

This purchase order represents a typical transactional award under DLA Aviation's broader indefinite delivery contract (IDC) relationships with Heim Bearings Company, which collectively hold over $2 million in active ceiling value across multiple IDCs extending through 2027-2029. The vendor has an extensive history as a primary supplier of specialized aviation bearing products, including ball bearings, bearing sleeves, roller rod ends, and self-lubricating bearings, while also serving as a subcontractor to major defense primes such as Oshkosh Defense, BAE Systems, and Rolls-Royce Corporation. Individual delivery orders under DLA Aviation's IDCs with this vendor typically range from several thousand dollars to over $50,000, with this award positioned at the lower end of that spectrum for a specific bearing component requirement.
