Indefinite Delivery Contract SPE4A619D5865

The Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Aviation awarded an Indefinite Delivery Contract (IDC) to Timken Aurora Bearing Company, a subsidiary of The Timken Company, for the delivery of bearing units and related products. The single-award contract, valued at up to $938,124.60, has a period of performance through January 2024. Under this IDC, the DLA Aviation has issued multiple firm-fixed price delivery orders to The Timken Company and its subsidiary for the production and delivery of various bearing units, including self-aligning, plain, and other bearing components. These delivery orders, valued between $47,225 and $191,553, support the DLA Aviation's mission to procure and manage inventory for military aircraft. No set-aside designations were used for this contract or associated delivery orders. The products are delivered to the DLA Aviation's facility in Montgomery, Illinois, demonstrating Timken's role as a key supplier in the defense supply chain for bearings and related mechanical components.

The IDC originated from a sources sought notice posted by the DLA in October 2018, seeking information on viable manufacturers for a plain bearing unit with the National Stock Number 3130-01-293-5830. This pre-solicitation announcement did not constitute a formal request for proposal, but rather an effort by the agency to identify potential sources that could meet its requirements. The resulting contract award to Timken Aurora Bearing Company highlights the company's capabilities in producing a variety of bearing products that are critical to the DLA Aviation's support of military aircraft maintenance and readiness.
