Purchase Order SPE4A626PD946

The Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Aviation awarded a firm fixed-price purchase order valued at $21,635.25 to RBC Southwest Products, Inc. for the supply of plain, self-aligning bearings. The contract, issued on January 29, 2026, carries an ultimate completion date of February 7, 2028, with performance conducted at the contractor's facility in Irwindale, California. This award does not utilize a set-aside designation, meaning RBC Southwest Products competed in an open, unrestricted solicitation process. The procurement supports DLA Aviation's mission to maintain critical bearing component inventory for military aviation maintenance and logistics operations across the Department of Defense.

RBC Southwest Products, Inc., a precision bearing manufacturer based in Baldwin Park, California, brings significant relevant experience to this engagement. The company has maintained an established relationship with DLA Aviation since at least 2005 and currently holds multiple indefinite delivery contracts (IDCs) with the agency, including a recently awarded $1.68 billion IDC for plain self-aligning bearings extending through April 2028. The company specializes in manufacturing high-quality, source-controlled bearing components including rod end bearings, self-lubricating bearings, and spherical bearings for defense-related applications. This purchase order represents a discrete delivery requirement that leverages RBC Southwest's existing production and quality assurance capabilities to fulfill immediate aviation bearing supply needs.
