About this opportunity
The Defense Logistics Agency Aviation issued a Limited/Sole Source Justification Notice for the procurement of ball duplex bearings (NSN 3110-00-202-0525), a critical application item essential for defense operations. The justification for limiting competition to SKF USA Inc. (CAGE 52676) is based on technical data availability constraints and prior acquisition history, citing 10 U.S.C. 3204(a)(1) authority, which permits direct acquisition from the manufacturer for repeat purchases when data is not economically available. Although a Request for Information posted on November 6, 2025, generated two additional interested firms—ATZ Solutions LLC and Jamaica Bearings Co Inc—the government determined that full and open competition was not practicable. The acquisition is structured as a five-year indefinite delivery contract with an estimated value not exceeding $900,000, with an annual demand of 194 units (minimum 49 units, maximum 194 units) and a requested delivery timeline of 224 days after receipt of order. Award was approved on January 14, 2026, with terms set at FOB Destination and inspection and acceptance at destination.
