Mechatronics, Inc.

Mechatronics, Inc. National Precision Bearing Division, operating as National Precision Bearing, manufactures and supplies precision bearings and related mechanical components to the federal government as a prime contractor, with over 7,600 awards totaling $1.13 billion in combined potential value. The company is a for-profit entity based in Preston, Washington, and competes predominantly in full-and-open procurements with no SBA set-aside certifications on the majority of its work; however, it holds multiple single-award Indefinite Delivery Contracts designated as Total Small Business set-asides with the Defense Logistics Agency Aviation.

Mechatronics operates across two primary business lines grounded in its award portfolio: ball and roller bearing manufacturing (6,814 awards across multiple bearing types including annular, duplex, tapered roller, cylindrical roller, and self-aligning variants) and plain bearing manufacturing (2,466 awards for self-lubricating and self-aligning plain bearings). The company also supplies bushings, sleeves, spacers, and bearing-related components. Representative prime contracts include a $116,280 delivery order from DLA Aviation for plain rod-end bearings (awarded September 17, 2023), a $236,753 delivery order for cylindrical roller bearings (awarded September 16, 2022), and a $129,200 delivery order for plain rod-end bearings (awarded April 15, 2023). The two IDCs held with DLA Aviation—each valued at $250,000 and designated as Total Small Business set-asides—were awarded on September 27, 2021 and September 20, 2021, with ultimate completion dates in September 2026.

Customer concentration is extreme and narrow. DLA Aviation accounts for 6,115 awards (80% of recent activity) with $92.8 million in combined potential value, representing 93% of top-customer awards by count. The next largest customer, the Defense Logistics Agency (parent organization), holds 907 awards valued at $7.5 million. The vendor's remaining top customers—Defense Logistics Agency Land and Maritime, Naval Sea Systems Command, and Army Materiel Command Communications Electronics Command—collectively account for fewer than 100 awards. This concentration reflects Mechatronics' positioning as a specialized supplier within DLA Aviation's indefinite delivery contract framework for aviation maintenance and logistics operations.

Mechatronics places task orders under five primary parent vehicles, all single-award Indefinite Delivery Contracts with DLA Aviation. The largest, IDC SP041204D4135, has generated 82 task orders with no stated ceiling value in the source. IDC SP041203D4068 produced 80 task orders valued at $3.6 million combined. IDC SPM41204D4135 carried 77 task orders worth $572 thousand combined. The company's contract structure consists almost entirely of delivery orders issued under these IDCs, enabling DLA Aviation to issue firm-fixed-price purchase orders and delivery orders for specific bearing components identified by National Stock Number as operational requirements arise. The typical delivery order ceiling ranges from under $1,000 to approximately $236,000, with most falling between $2,000 and $100,000.

Activity has declined markedly over the past three years. The source reports 46 awards in 2022, 58 in 2023, 38 in 2024, 15 in 2025, and 2 in 2026. This downward trajectory reflects either reduced DLA Aviation procurement volume or diminished task order frequency under existing IDCs. Recompete exposure in the next twenty-four months is minimal: only one award with a combined potential value of $20 thousand is scheduled for ultimate completion inside the twenty-four-month recompete window.

Mechatronics serves as a subcontractor on two recent Boeing awards: a March 2, 2026 sub-award for "PBL Material Boeing Common Commodities-Mechanical" and a February 27, 2026 sub-award under the same commodity description. Both awards list Mechatronics as a sub-awardee to The Boeing Company. These Boeing relationships represent a small secondary stream distinct from the dominant DLA Aviation prime business.

The vendor's primary NAICS coding (Ball and Roller Bearing Manufacturing) and PSC coding (Bearings, Antifriction, Unmounted) directly align with its award portfolio. The company has maintained active federal contracting since at least 1998 and has established itself as a reliable, long-standing supplier to DLA Aviation for precision bearing components essential to Department of Defense aircraft maintenance and logistics operations. Its competitive posture across the DLA Aviation customer base shows no indication of SBA set-aside participation except on the two Total Small Business IDCs held directly with DLA Aviation. The vast majority of individual delivery orders are awarded without set-aside designation, reflecting full-and-open competitive procurement.
