About this opportunity
The Defense Logistics Agency Land and Maritime published this Limited/Sole Source Justification Notice for the procurement of 106 Traverse Bearing Assemblies (NSN 3110-01-095-8792) for the Bradley Fighting Vehicle, with an option for an additional 106 units, totaling 212 units under contract SPRDL1-25-C-0089. The justification cites the lack of technical data and intellectual property rights as the primary rationale for sole-source procurement, noting that market research conducted in January 2024 failed to identify additional qualified manufacturers beyond Kaydon Corp and Rotek Inc. The government determined that reverse engineering a Technical Data Package would be time-consuming and costly, making these the only viable sources for the specialized bearings. While the specific awarded vendor and contract value have been redacted, the procurement was conducted under 10 U.S.C. 3204(a)(1) as a sole-source acquisition using Army Working Capital Funds. The contract was awarded on September 24, 2025, following the same pattern as a previous February 2020 contract that was awarded to Jamaica Bearings Co. Inc., a Kaydon Corporation authorized distributor.
