Modification Of Equipment- Bearings

PSC Category K031 focuses on modification of bearings and related equipment, specifically within aerospace and spaceflight hardware contexts. This product service code encompasses specialized hardware components used in advanced technological systems, particularly for space exploration and mission-critical equipment. The modifications typically involve precision engineering of mechanical components designed to support complex operational requirements in high-performance environments.

The federal contract awards for this PSC category are predominantly issued by NASA's Johnson Space Center, with a consistent focus on spacecraft and spacesuit-related hardware modifications. Key awards range from $73,460 to $860,562, typically structured as firm fixed-price delivery orders under Small Business Technology Transfer (STTR) Phase III contracts. The primary contractors are Air-Lock, Incorporated and David Clark Company, Inc., who specialize in manufacturing aerospace hardware components such as bearings, connectors, umbilicals, and softgoods for spacesuits. These contracts support critical NASA programs including the Orion Crew Survival Systems, Exploration Extra-Vehicular Mobility Unit (XEMU), and Human Landing System (HLS) program. Contract performance periods generally span 6-18 months, with completion dates extending into 2025.

No federal contract opportunities were included in the provided dataset for this PSC category. The summary is based exclusively on the existing federal contract awards, which demonstrate a consistent pattern of NASA-funded modifications to specialized aerospace hardware components.
