About this opportunity

The Defense Logistics Agency Aviation is procuring annular ball bearings, a critical component for F100 aircraft engine gearboxes and bearing support systems. This firm fixed-price contract seeks responsible sources capable of manufacturing steel alloy bearings meeting precise specifications (10.05 inches by 10.05 inches by 2.25 inches, weighing 1.1 pounds each) and meeting Critical Safety Item criteria. The solicitation was posted on December 8, 2025, with an estimated RFP issue date of December 24, 2025, and a response deadline of January 29, 2026. All responsible sources are eligible to submit capability statements or proposals under full and open competition authority, with proposals accepted for up to 45 days following publication of the synopsis. The contracting office is located at Tinker Air Force Base in Oklahoma, and awards will be made to qualified sources that meet the government's technical, safety, and delivery requirements.

No set-asides apply to this procurement. The incumbent contractor on the previous purchase contract (SPE4A1-21-G-0001/SPRTA1-24-F-0403) procured 10 units in September 2024. Four qualified sources have been identified: Raytheon Technologies Corporation, SKF USA Inc., Schaeffler Aerospace Canada, Inc., and Timken Company. The government estimates requiring 88 units with a quantity range between 22 and 132 units for delivery on or before March 10, 2027, with an additional line item for CEMS reporting deliverables. While specific contract value information is not disclosed in the pre-solicitation notice, the estimated quantity and firm fixed-price structure provide potential contractors with clear parameters for proposal preparation.
