About the company
Bearing Distributors Inc., a Kansas City, Missouri-based for-profit industrial distributor, supplies aviation and air traffic control equipment, components, and infrastructure assets to the Federal Aviation Administration as a prime contractor exclusively, competing in full-and-open (non-set-aside) procurements with firm fixed-price purchase orders. The company has maintained federal contractor registration since 1997 and operates without SBA certifications or set-aside designations.
Bearing Distributors' federal footprint centers narrowly on the FAA. The top customer, FAA Headquarters, accounts for 23 awards totaling $1.7 million in combined potential value across 62% of recent awards. Three additional FAA sub-offices—the Aeronautical Center (5 awards, $228 thousand), Franchise Acquisition Services (1 award, $281 thousand), and regional procurement entities—drive the remainder, with the United States Marine Corps representing a minor outlier (3 awards, $21 thousand). Virtually all work aligns with the vendor's core product lines: 26 awards (50% of total) carry PSC codes for antifriction bearings, with secondary concentrations in miscellaneous items, air conditioning equipment, and refrigeration components. NAICS categorization reflects industrial supplies wholesale distribution (primary category across 23 awards), ball and roller bearing manufacturing (3 awards), and electronic parts wholesaling (3 awards).
Recent activity shows volatility. Awards per year climbed from 2 in 2022 to 8 in 2024, then declined to 3 in 2025 and 2 in 2026, with the most recent purchase order dated June 8, 2026, valued at $333,859.50 for National Airspace System assets. Combined potential value across all 52 awards totals $2.2 million, with full obligation realized. Two awards (combined potential value $368 thousand) face ultimate completion inside the next twenty-four months, creating modest recompete exposure.
Bearing Distributors operates exclusively as a prime contractor with no subcontract footprint and no participation in broader IDIQs, GWACs, or blanket purchase agreements. Individual purchase orders range from $12,300 to $333,859.50, all performance-based at the vendor's Kansas City headquarters. The vendor's competitive posture remains full-and-open procurement with no reliance on business category set-asides or small business vehicles.
