Machine Bearings Per Spreadsheet

DLA Aviation Richmond is seeking to procure machine bearings according to a detailed specification spreadsheet through a formal solicitation process. The Defense Logistics Agency Aviation, a defense procurement organization, is issuing this opportunity with a focus on acquiring bearings that comply with their technical data package DLA-A-VICA 25-65-1088. Key contract requirements include completion within 120 days after receipt of order, delivery on an FOB Destination basis with inspection and acceptance at destination, and submission of a comprehensive solicitation package that includes compliance statements and descriptive literature. The evaluation criteria will be based on a Firm, Fixed Price contracting approach, meaning offerors will propose a single fixed price for the complete scope of work. Critical deadlines include the pre-solicitation notice posted on December 1, 2025, the anticipated solicitation release on December 17, 2025, and the proposal closing date of January 20, 2026, with all solicitation documents available via the DLA DIBBS website in PDF format.

This procurement is designated as a 100% Total Small Business Set Aside, restricting competition to qualified small business concerns and ensuring that only small business entities may submit proposals and potentially be awarded the contract. No incumbent contractor or current award value information is specified in this pre-solicitation notice, though interested small businesses should monitor the DLA DIBBS website for the full solicitation package that will contain detailed specifications, pricing schedules, and award amount details. The contract will be awarded under FAR 13.5 simplified acquisition procedures, streamlining the procurement process for this machine bearing acquisition. The scope includes not only the machine bearings themselves but also shipping costs as an integral part of the contract deliverables. Firms interested in pursuing this opportunity should prepare their compliance documentation and technical submissions in anticipation of the formal solicitation release on December 17, 2025, to ensure timely submission by the January 20, 2026 deadline.
