Indefinite Delivery Contract SPE4A619D6839

The Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Aviation awarded an Indefinite Delivery Contract (IDC) to New Hampshire Ball Bearings Inc. (NHBB) for the supply of plain bearing units and related components. NHBB's Astro Division, a specialized manufacturer of precision bearings, will serve as the prime contractor. The IDC, valued at up to $557,258.40, has a period of performance through September 2024 and does not include any set-aside designations. Under this contract, DLA Aviation has issued multiple firm fixed-price delivery orders to NHBB's Astro Division, ranging from $27,000 to $42,000, for the supply of plain bearing units used to support the maintenance and operational readiness of military aircraft, vehicles, vessels, and weapon systems across the U.S. armed forces. The place of performance for these orders is NHBB's facilities located in Massachusetts and New Hampshire. This IDC and associated delivery orders demonstrate NHBB's role as a trusted supplier of critical bearing components to the Department of Defense.

The original sources sought notice was issued by DLA Aviation to identify viable sources for the procurement of plain bearing units with the National Stock Number 3130-01-231-4602. The notice did not constitute a formal solicitation but rather sought information from manufacturers on their capability to provide the required bearing units. NHBB, as an experienced supplier of precision bearings to the defense industry, responded to this sources sought notice, which ultimately led to the award of the IDC to the company's Astro Division.
