DLA Aviation seeks manufacturers capable of producing the item and requests submission of manufacturer location (city, state, or country) and points of contact. Current or historical sources identified in the notice include LORD Corporation (CAGE 30061 and 70065, part number LB6-1034-25-1) and Sikorsky Aircraft Corporation (CAGE 78286, part number SB7111-101).

The inquiry falls under NAICS 332991 (Ball and Roller Bearing Manufacturing) and PSC 3120 (Bearings, Plain, Unmounted). DLA Aviation has published supplemental SAR guidance indicating that for this NSN without an open solicitation, prospective suppliers must submit Source Approval Requests electronically via DoD SAFE to dlaavnsmallbus@dla.mil with subject line "request a SAR drop off," including CAGE code, NSN, and desired email for file download. SAR review typically requires over 180 days from receipt. Suppliers should consult the DLA Supplier Requirements Visibility Application to assess demand forecasting before submission, as SARs may not be processed if item demand is deemed insufficient to justify cost of approval.
