PSC Category 3130-P (Bearings, Mounted) encompasses a diverse range of bearing units and housing components critical to military and aerospace equipment functionality. These products include ball bearings, roller bearings, plain bearings, and bearing housings designed for use in various military platforms such as aircraft, ground vehicles, and maritime systems. The bearings are precision-engineered components that facilitate mechanical motion, reduce friction, and support rotating equipment across defense and industrial applications.

Federal contract awards in this category demonstrate a consistent pattern of procurement by the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA), Naval Supply Systems Command, and other military agencies. Awards frequently range from $3,000 to $155,000, with contract durations typically spanning 6-18 months. Recurring contractors include specialized manufacturers like Miraj Corp, Waukesha Bearings Corporation, Oshkosh Defense, Jamaica Bearings Co., and New Hampshire Ball Bearings.
