About this opportunity
This Limited / Sole Source Justification Notice, issued by the Defense Logistics Agency Aviation on November 19, 2025, pertains to the procurement of plain, self-aligning bearings (NSN 3120-00-011-9167) under solicitation number SPE4A625RX146. The justification for other than full and open competition cites the lack of available technical data to permit competitive acquisition, despite market research efforts including a Sources Sought notice posted on October 31, 2024, which generated no responses. The contract will be awarded as a Commercial Indefinite Delivery contract with a five-year base period to one of three approved sources: RBC Transport Dynamics Corp, New Hampshire Ball Bearings Inc., or The Boeing Company, with award decisions based on price, past performance, and other evaluation factors. The procurement supports estimated annual demand of 1,413 units with a minimum of 354 units and maximum of 1,413 units, and the contract is valued over $15 million, requiring Head of Contracting Activity approval. This bearing is classified as both a Critical Safety Item and Critical Application Item, with terms set as FOB Destination and inspection and acceptance at origin.
