This Indefinite Delivery Contract (IDC) was awarded by the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Aviation to The Timken Corporation, a major manufacturer of engineered bearings and power transmission products. The $4,994,909.92 single-award IDC covers the procurement of various tapered roller bearings, bearing cones, cups, and rollers identified by National Stock Numbers (NSNs). These highly specialized mechanical components are critical for military aviation maintenance and supply chain activities.

The original pre-solicitation notice indicates that DLA Aviation was seeking information on potential sources for the specified tapered roller bearing NSNs in accordance with DFARS regulations. While no technical data was provided, the agency requested respondents to identify the location of the manufacturer and points of contact. This was an informational notice only and not a request for proposal, with the government under no obligation to award a contract. No set-aside, award value, delivery quantities, or timeline details were included in the original sources sought notice.
