Accurate Bushing Company, Inc.

Accurate Bushing Company, Inc., doing business as Smith Bearing, manufactures precision bearing components—roller bearings, needle bearings, cam followers, and roller cams—for military aircraft and ground vehicle maintenance and operates exclusively as a prime contractor to the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Aviation. The company is a small business manufacturer headquartered in Garwood, New Jersey, competing primarily under full and open procurement with no SBA set-aside designations on individual task orders, though six of its seven active Indefinite Delivery Contracts with DLA Aviation carry Total Small Business set-aside designations at the vehicle level.

Over the past three years, Accurate Bushing has received 1,532 federal awards (all prime contracts and IDIQs, zero subcontract work), with combined potential value of $39.4 million and $26.6 million obligated. The vendor's customer base is entirely concentrated within the Department of Defense. DLA Aviation accounts for 1,249 awards valued at $36.8 million combined potential (93% of total), with the broader DLA organization (including DLA Land and Maritime) adding 202 more awards worth $1.9 million. Smaller volumes flow through the Air Force Materiel Command and Navy. Activity peaked in 2023 with 82 awards, declined to 31 in 2024, then recovered to 44 in 2025 and 40 year-to-date in 2026.

The vendor holds seven active Indefinite Delivery Contracts with DLA Aviation, six designated as Total Small Business set-asides. Five IDCs awarded since January 2025 each carry ceilings of $349,999.99 to $678,272.00 with performance extending through 2029–2031. An earlier seventh IDC carries a $250,000 ceiling through February 2026. These standing supply vehicles enable DLA Aviation to issue rapid delivery orders for specific bearing National Stock Numbers on an as-needed basis; individual task-order values typically range from $1,000 to $50,000 across the portfolio. Recent representative awards include a $96,300 purchase order (March 2026) for 1,070 cam follower needle bearing units, a $173,600 purchase order (December 2025) for 3,100 linear-rotary roller units, and a $90,000 purchase order (July 2025) for 1,000 cam follower needle units—all firm fixed-price, all delivered to DLA Distribution depots nationwide (Garwood, Warner Robins, Oklahoma City), and all performed at the company's Garwood manufacturing facility with no identified subcontractors.

The company registered in SAM.gov in June 2001 and has sustained a consistent 100+ federal awards per year trajectory with DLA Aviation for over two decades. All contracts are priced as firm fixed-price, reflecting commercial bearing supply.

The vendor operates as a purely domestic, single-location manufacturer with no subcontractor footprint—a key differentiator in a supply chain built on source-controlled and qualified products list bearing components critical to military readiness across all service branches.
