Bearing, plain, self-

The Defense Logistics Agency Aviation is seeking potential sources for a plain, self-bearing with National Stock Number (NSN) 3120-01-356-6970. This pre-solicitation notice is designed to identify qualified manufacturers in accordance with DFARS regulations 225.7009 and 225-7016. The government is currently collecting information about potential manufacturers of this specific bearing, with a focus on determining the location and point of contact for each source. Three current identified manufacturers include New Hampshire Ball Bearings Inc, Kamatics Corporation, and Sargen Aerospace & Defense LLC, all of whom have a specific part number (SB5301-106) for this bearing. The pre-solicitation notice is strictly informational and does not constitute a formal solicitation, with responses being completely voluntary and not guaranteed to result in a contract award.

The pre-solicitation does not indicate any specific set-aside designations, meaning the opportunity appears open to all qualified manufacturers in the Ball and Roller Bearing Manufacturing category (NAICS 332991). While no specific award value or quantity is mentioned, the notice suggests a focused procurement process for a specific type of bearing used in defense applications. Interested manufacturers are requested to provide their location details and points of contact to Herbert Davis via email at Herbert.Davis@dla.mil or by phone at 804-279-1418. The initial response window is brief, with the posted date of June 6, 2025, and a response due date of June 10, 2025. Respondents should be aware that no funds are available to compensate for response preparation, and the government maintains full discretion in the procurement process.
