Indefinite Delivery Contract SPE4A620DC111

The Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Aviation awarded an Indefinite Delivery Contract (IDC) to Jamaica Bearings Co., Inc., a for-profit Subchapter S corporation, to provide a variety of critical ball bearings, roller bearings, and other precision bearing products to support military aviation logistics. The IDC has a ceiling value of $716,560.25 and runs through June 2024. Under this contract, Jamaica Bearings has been awarded multiple firm-fixed price delivery orders ranging from $136,203.75 to $139,937.50 to deliver bearing components such as 8507663700, 8508622222, 8509249256, 8509603827, and 8509830508. The delivery orders do not utilize any set-aside provisions, allowing Jamaica Bearings to compete as a full and open prime contractor. As an experienced supplier to the DLA, Jamaica Bearings maintains several large IDCs worth up to $1.25 billion to provide a wide array of bearing products and related hardware to support the DLA's aviation, land, and maritime logistics operations across both CONUS and OCONUS locations through 2028.

The original solicitation was issued by the DLA Aviation as a sources sought notice to identify potential manufacturers and suppliers of the required ball bearing NSN. This informational notice was not a request for proposal, but rather an effort by the agency to determine the availability of approved sources to fulfill this requirement. While the government did not have the authority to share technical data, they provided the NSN and part number details to facilitate industry response. Jamaica Bearings, through its specialized Government Sales Division, demonstrated its capability and capacity to deliver the needed bearing components from its facility in New Hyde Park, New York, leading to its selection as the prime contractor for this IDC and associated delivery orders.
