Bearings, Antifriction, Unmounted

Product Service Code (PSC) 3110 encompasses bearings, specifically antifriction and unmounted bearings used across various aerospace, military, and industrial applications. These precision mechanical components are critical for reducing friction in rotating equipment, supporting motion in complex mechanical systems such as aircraft engines, naval vessels, ground vehicles, and industrial machinery. The bearings include various types like ball bearings, roller bearings, cylindrical bearings, and tapered roller bearings, designed to handle radial, axial, and combined loading conditions with high precision and reliability.

Federal contract awards under PSC 3110 demonstrate a robust market with significant government procurement activity. Most awards are firm-fixed-price purchase orders or delivery orders ranging from approximately $1,000 to $250,000, typically with completion dates between six months to three years. Frequent awardees include RBC Bearings, Mechatronics Inc., Jamaica Bearings Co., The Timken Corporation, and Intercontinental Bearing Supply Company. The Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Aviation and the U.S. Coast Guard are the most prevalent funding agencies, with most contracts not utilizing specific set-asides. Performance locations are predominantly in Virginia, Connecticut, and other states with strong manufacturing and aerospace industries.

Recent federal contract opportunities for PSC 3110 bearings focus on precise, specialized components for military and aerospace applications. The Defense Logistics Agency Aviation has issued multiple solicitations requesting roller, ball, and cylindrical bearings for aircraft engine modules, naval vessel stabilization systems, and other critical equipment. Opportunities typically request quantities between 30-3,700 units, with stringent technical specifications and quality control requirements. Solicitations frequently emphasize compliance with military standards, traceability documentation, and specific manufacturing capabilities. Most opportunities are unrestricted, targeting manufacturers capable of producing highly specialized bearing components for complex mechanical systems across military platforms.
