About this opportunity
The Defense Logistics Agency Aviation has issued a Limited/Sole Source Justification Notice for the procurement of elastomeric bearings (NSN 3130-01-100-1701) under solicitation number SPE4A625RXC55, which will result in a five-year commercial indefinite delivery contract. The justification is based on the item being suitable for competitive acquisition but requiring a manufacturing source specified on a source control drawing, with limited technical data availability necessitating technical certification from approved sources. Despite DLA Aviation's efforts to increase competition by publishing a Sources Sought notice on June 18, 2025, no responses were received, leading to the sole source award to LORD CORPORATION (CAGE 76005). The estimated contract value falls between $15 million and $100 million, with an estimated annual demand of 2,977 units, a minimum of 735 units, and a maximum of 2,799 units. This procurement involves a Critical Safety Item (CSI) and Critical Application Item (CAI) with source control requirements, export control restrictions, and covered defense information protocols, highlighting the specialized nature of these bearings for defense applications.
