Purchase Order SPE4A626PB494

RBC Aircraft Products, Inc., a Torrington, Connecticut-based manufacturer of precision aerospace bearings, was awarded a firm fixed-price purchase order valued at $123,318 by the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Aviation on January 7, 2026. The contract calls for the delivery of airframe ball bearings (NSN 3110000345257) totaling 7,800 units across three line items, with all units required to be delivered to DLA Distribution Jacksonville within 148 days of order issuance. The award emerged from a competitive Request for Quote solicitation posted on December 16, 2025, with a compressed 8-day response window, reflecting the urgent nature of the procurement requirement. No set-aside designation was applied to this procurement, meaning RBC Aircraft Products competed openly against all qualified sources in the federal marketplace.

This purchase order supports the Defense Logistics Agency's mission to maintain inventory and sustain military aircraft readiness across the Department of Defense. RBC Aircraft Products, registered in the System for Award Management since 2006, regularly supplies bearing components to DLA Aviation through multiple Indefinite Delivery Contracts with ceiling values ranging from $250,000 to over $1.2 million. The company's specialization in ball, roller, and needle bearings for airframe applications, combined with its established performance history as a qualified supplier to defense agencies and major aerospace contractors including Boeing, Raytheon, and Northrop Grumman, positioned it competitively for this award. Performance of all work will occur at the contractor's Torrington facility, with an ultimate completion date of March 18, 2027.
