American Bearing And Components LLC

American Bearing And Components LLC, a woman-owned small business based in Hansville, Washington, manufactures and supplies precision ball bearings, roller bearings, plain bearings, and related bearing components to the Defense Logistics Agency as a prime contractor, competing across both unrestricted and total small business set-aside vehicles. The company operates as a limited liability partnership with no subcontractor footprint—100% of its federal awards are prime contracts—and maintains production facilities in Washington, Connecticut, Nevada, and California to fulfill distributed defense logistics demand.

The vendor's customer concentration is extreme and narrow. Defense Logistics Agency Aviation accounts for 1,728 of 1,766 total awards (98% of volume) and $37.8 million of the $38.4 million combined potential value (98% of dollars). The next largest customer, DLA Land and Maritime, represents only 21 awards and $468 thousand. This concentration reflects American Bearing And Components' specialized role as a critical bearing supplier to DLA Aviation's aircraft maintenance, repair, and overhaul supply chain across all branches of the armed forces. Secondary customers include the Department of the Navy Naval Sea Systems Command (7 awards, $53 thousand), DLA Troop Support Hardware (5 awards, $3 thousand), and the Department of Homeland Security US Coast Guard (3 awards, $56 thousand).

The vendor operates predominantly through seven single-award Indefinite Delivery Contracts with DLA Aviation. Five are reserved for total small business set-aside, each with a $250,000 ceiling: one for tapered roller bearings (through March 2030), one for self-aligning plain bearings (through December 2029), one for ball bearings (through April 2029), one for retainer and roller bearings (through February 2029), and one for self-aligning plain bearings (through December 2029). The sixth is an unrestricted single-award IDC for ball bearings valued at approximately $923,340 (active through 2029). A seventh, awarded February 2026, is a $350,000 unrestricted single-award contract through February 2031 covering the full portfolio of ball bearings, roller bearings, plain bearings, and related accessories. Individual purchase orders and delivery orders are issued against these vehicles as needs arise, typically firm fixed-price with National Stock Number identification.

Representative recent awards illustrate the work: a $282,117 unrestricted purchase order from DLA Aviation in November 2025 for self-aligning plain bearings under the $923,340 unrestricted IDC; a $125,601 unrestricted purchase order in November 2025 for self-aligning roller bearings; an $88,128 total small business set-aside purchase order in May 2025 for sleeve bearings; and a $81,315 unrestricted purchase order in March 2025 for roller needle bearings. A single award from DLA Land and Maritime (November 2025, $235,498) procured valve seats for St. Marys, Pennsylvania delivery. Award volume has fluctuated: 114 awards in 2022, 200 in 2023, 133 in 2024, 142 in 2025, and 63 in the first seven months of 2026. The vendor faces $246 thousand in combined potential value completing within the next twenty-four months—limited recompete exposure relative to its total portfolio.

Product mix is dominated by bearings. Ball and Roller Bearing Manufacturing (NAICS 332991) accounts for 1,641 of 1,766 awards. PSC codes for unmounted antifriction bearings (1,204 awards) and plain bearings (489 awards) drive the majority of the remainder. The vendor also manufactures valve seats, bushings, and bearing-related accessories such as seats, washers, retainers, and replacement kits, identified through NSNs for efficient government procurement.

American Bearing And Components competes across both unrestricted and small business set-aside categories. Five of its seven active DLA Aviation IDCs are total small business set-asides, while two (including the highest-ceiling unrestricted contract) are full-and-open competitive. Recent award history shows mixed set-aside posture: roughly 30% of 2025 awards carry total small business set-aside designations; the remainder are unrestricted competitive procurements, reflecting the vendor's ability to compete on capability and price in open market conditions.
