The agency currently recognizes only one approved manufacturer for this part number: Waukesha Bearings Corporation (part number A000080037000), though DLA does not possess technical data for this NSN. Companies interested in becoming approved sources must submit information in accordance with DLA Procurement Note L04 for part numbered items and DLA Procurement Note M06 for evaluation of offers for part numbered items. The evaluation process will assess vendors based on their business size, manufacturing capabilities, inventory status, commercial item classification, delivery timelines, pricing structures, and willingness to submit firm fixed-price contract offers. Interested sources must complete the attached Market Survey and return it to Jennifer Cummins via email by September 17, 2025, as a preliminary step before the formal Request for Proposals.
