In addition to serving as a prime contractor to DLA Aviation, Heim Bearings also acts as a subcontractor to major defense suppliers such as Oshkosh Defense, BAE Systems, and Rolls-Royce Corporation, providing bearing products for various military programs.

The three task orders reviewed demonstrate Heim Bearings' role in fulfilling DLA Aviation's requirements for specific bearing part numbers, including ball rod end bearings. These firm fixed-price delivery orders, valued between $5,611.41 and $10,599.33, were issued under the active IDC to ensure a reliable supply chain for these essential aviation components. The orders cover a range of performance periods, with the latest extending through June 2025. Heim Bearings' manufacturing capabilities and experience in supporting the Department of Defense make it a key supplier for these bearing requirements.
