Thordon bearing

The Department of the Navy Naval Supply Systems Command is procuring Thordon bearings through a brand name acquisition negotiated directly with the Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) per FAR 11.104. This acquisition seeks plain, unmounted bearings classified under NAICS 333613 and PSC 3120. Interested authorized small business distributors may submit proposals to demonstrate their capability and interest in responding to the requirement, with such responses considered primarily to determine whether a competitive procurement should be conducted. A firm-fixed price supply type contract is anticipated for award. The solicitation was posted to Beta.Sam.Gov on January 9, 2026, with quotes due by January 15, 2026, and prospective offerors should direct questions to Stacia.L.DeBriae@Navy.mil or Stacia.L.DeBriae.Civ@US.Navy.mil prior to the submission deadline.

This is a total small business set-aside acquisition, meaning only certified small businesses may compete for the contract award. Thordon Bearing is identified as the Original Equipment Manufacturer for this requirement, and authorized distributors must submit documentation from the OEM confirming their distributor status alongside their proposals. While no specific award value or quantity is disclosed in the pre-solicitation notice, the required delivery date is 30 days after receipt of order (ARO), indicating expedited fulfillment requirements. The Government reserves the sole discretion to determine whether to conduct a competitive procurement based on the responses received to this notice. Prospective offerors are responsible for independently downloading solicitation documents from Beta.Sam.Gov and monitoring the website for any amendments, as the Government assumes no responsibility for offeror access issues.
