Bearing Assembly

The Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) is seeking to procure 65 Bearing Assemblies with National Stock Number 3130-01-149-9707, specifically manufactured by Lockheed Martin Corporation or Sargent Controls & Aerospace. The pre-solicitation notice indicates a comprehensive procurement process requiring first article testing and preproduction approval for these critical application items. Manufacturers must produce the bearings at the same facilities where production quantities will be procured and submit a detailed test package including contract documents, drawings, specifications, and inspection sheets. The technical requirements are stringent, with specific packaging standards following MIL-STD-2073-1E and detailed marking and preservation instructions. The solicitation number SP470125Q9997 suggests a structured evaluation process that will likely assess manufacturers' technical capabilities, quality control processes, and ability to meet precise manufacturing specifications.

The opportunity is designated as a Total Small Business set-aside, targeting smaller manufacturers in the Ball and Roller Bearing Manufacturing sector (NAICS 332991). The part number 4F90007-103A Revision G is source-controlled, with Lockheed Martin Corporation (CAGE 98897) and Sargent Controls & Aerospace (CAGE 97613) identified as acceptable sources. While specific award value is not disclosed, the procurement of 65 units indicates a focused, potentially high-value contract for specialized bearing assemblies. The pre-solicitation was posted on April 24, 2025, with responses due by April 30, 2025, suggesting a relatively compressed timeline for potential bidders to prepare and submit their proposals. Interested manufacturers will need to demonstrate access to limited rights technical data and the capability to meet the DLA's exacting quality and testing standards.
