Bearing, Ball, Annula

The Defense Logistics Agency Land and Maritime is seeking to procure 106 Ball, Annula Bearings with NSN 3110-01-095-8792 and part number 12292058. This pre-solicitation notice indicates a sole source procurement specifically targeted to Kaydon Corp. or Rotek Inc., with the procurement justified by the lack of suitable technical data, government data rights, or manufacturing knowledge from alternative sources. The opportunity is classified under NAICS 332991 for Ball and Roller Bearing Manufacturing and PSC Category 3110 for Antifriction Bearings. The pre-solicitation was posted on February 18, 2025, with a response deadline of April 4, 2025, suggesting a relatively tight timeline for potential vendors. While specific evaluation criteria are not explicitly detailed, the sole source nature implies a highly specialized procurement process focused on technical capabilities and manufacturing expertise.

The procurement does not have a specific small business set-aside designation, indicating it is open to all qualified vendors. The contract will be fulfilled with FOB Origin terms, meaning the buyer assumes responsibility for the goods once they leave the seller's facility. The total quantity requested is 106 units, with an additional option for 100% more bearings, potentially increasing the total procurement to 212 units. While the exact award value is not specified, the specialized nature of the bearings and the sole source procurement suggest a potentially significant contract value. The sole source limitation to Kaydon Corp. and Rotek Inc. strongly implies that these are the only manufacturers capable of meeting the precise technical specifications required by the Defense Logistics Agency.
