Indefinite Delivery Contract SPE4A623DC120

The Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Aviation has awarded a single-award indefinite delivery contract (IDC) to Roller Bearing Co of America Inc., doing business as Heim Bearings Company, a for-profit manufacturer of bearing components. The $629,734.45 IDC, with a performance period through September 2028, covers the procurement of a broad spectrum of aviation bearing products, including ball bearings, plain rod bearings, bearing sleeves, roller rod ends, and self-lubricating bearings. These critical components are used to support the maintenance and operational readiness of U.S. military aircraft and ground vehicle fleets. Heim Bearings, headquartered in Fairfield, Connecticut, has received multiple delivery orders against this IDC, typically ranging from a few thousand dollars to over $50,000, for the rapid supply of various bearing parts identified by specific national stock numbers. The IDC enables DLA Aviation to maintain a reliable supply chain for essential bearing components, ensuring the continued airworthiness and mobility of the Department of Defense's assets. In addition to this prime contract work, Heim Bearings also serves as a subcontractor to major defense suppliers, providing bearing products for various military programs.

Previously, DLA Aviation issued a pre-solicitation notice seeking sources to procure a specific bearing, NSN 3110-00-232-3075, in accordance with DFARS regulations. This notice was for informational purposes only and did not constitute a solicitation or commitment to award a contract. Roller Bearing Co of America Inc., doing business as Heim Bearings Company, appears to be one of the prime contractors selected to provide these critical bearing components to support the Department of Defense's aviation and ground vehicle maintenance requirements.
