Signed SSJ- Bearing Repair_Inspection_signed_Redacted.pdf

This is a Single Source Justification (Simplified Acquisition) document for a bearing refurbishment contract. The Air Force Materiel Command (AFMC) Operational Logistics/Production, Inventory and Management Control (OL_H/PZIMC) seeks specialized depot-level repair and refurbishment services for critical weapon system bearings under Local ID Alexsys 16025, with an estimated contract cost that is redacted. The 530 CMMXS Commodities Maintenance Squadron requires Level I inspection and Level II repair services for bearings supporting the United States Nuclear Triad Weapon System and other strategic Air Force platforms, specifically for bearing part numbers 5906916, 5907393, 5907396, 5907397, 5910321, 5900892, and 5901015.

The government has determined that Bearing Inspection Inc. (BII), a Timken company, is the only capable source for this work based on its exclusive history of successfully performing these specialized inspections and repairs, established technical baseline, facility approvals, and quality assurance processes. The justification cites Mission Impaired Capability Awaiting Parts (MICAP) conditions and numerous backorders requiring immediate refurbishment, noting that awarding to an alternate vendor would result in significant additional costs, unacceptable scheduling delays, and mission readiness degradation. Qualifying a new contractor would require lengthy testing and certification processes. The contracting officer signed the determination on July 22, 2026, concluding that only a single source to BII (Timken) is reasonably available. Section E indicates that ongoing market surveys will be conducted by Secondary Power IPTs to identify potential alternative suppliers in the future.
