About the company
Bearing & Drive Systems Inc., a for-profit mechanical components manufacturer based in Strongsville, Ohio, supplies precision ball bearings, roller bearings, and related bearing components to the Defense Logistics Agency Aviation as a prime contractor on firm-fixed-price purchase orders, competing exclusively full-and-open with no set-aside designations across its federal footprint.
The vendor's customer concentration is extremely narrow and stable. DLA Aviation accounts for 34 of 52 awards (65% of total awards) and $186 thousand of the $235 thousand combined potential value across all federal work — a dominant position that reflects the agency's consolidation of DoD aviation spare-parts procurement. The remaining six customer agencies (Naval Supply Systems Command, Naval Air Systems Command, Air Force Materiel Command Air Force Sustainment Center, Marine Corps, NASA Shared Services Center, and two others) collectively represent six awards and $49 thousand in potential value. The two rankings align; DLA Aviation anchors both volume and dollars, with no secondary customer carrying material weight. All work is performed at the vendor's Strongsville facility, and the vendor maintains a 100% prime posture — no subcontract work appears in the source.
Capability framing is concrete and narrow. The vendor manufactures and supplies ball and roller bearings classified under NAICS 332991 (Ball and Roller Bearing Manufacturing) for 39 of 52 awards, with secondary NAICS work in aircraft parts and auxiliary equipment manufacturing. Federal Stock Class 3110 (Bearings, Antifriction, Unmounted) accounts for 41 awards. Representative recent work includes a $8,200 firm-fixed-price purchase order from DLA Aviation in December 2024 for ball bearings (ultimate completion December 9, 2024), a $5,000 order in March 2024 for annular ball bearings, and a $25,900 order in March 2023 under Total Small Business set-aside — the latter suggesting the vendor qualifies as a small business despite holding no active SBA certifications in the source.
Activity has decelerated. The vendor recorded four awards in 2022, seven in 2023, six in 2024, three in 2025, and two in 2026 year-to-date, indicating a downward trend. Award sizes are consistently small, ranging from hundreds to tens of thousands of dollars, with combined potential value across all 52 awards totaling only $235 thousand — a sub-$5 thousand average per award. The vendor has no IDIQs, GWACs, or standing BPAs; all awards are discrete purchase orders. The compressed timelines between award and completion dates (frequently one to three days) suggest the vendor operates on a call-when-needed basis for DLA Aviation's immediate aviation maintenance and logistics spare-parts requirements rather than as a development or systems-integration partner.
