The contract type is an Indefinite Quantity Contract with a 5-year base period and no options.

Three sources have been identified with capability: Jamaica Bearings Inc. (CAGE 04836), SKF USA (CAGE 38443), and MPB Corporation (CAGE 78118). The justification identifies the authority as AMC 1 (suitable for competitive acquisition for the second or subsequent time) and AMSC Z (commercial/no-developmental/off-the-shelf item). A sources sought notice was posted to Contract Opportunities on 02/19/2026, resulting in interest from Jamaica Bearings Inc., with no additional responses received. The acquisition was synopsized on 02/25/2026. The justification notes that technical data is not available and cannot be developed to permit full and open competition, and there are no J&As for previous buys on these NSNs.
