Mechatronics, Inc.

Mechatronics, Inc., doing business as National Precision Bearing, manufactures and supplies precision bearing components and related mechanical hardware to federal defense logistics agencies as a small business prime contractor, with over 3,200 awards across a five-year window and a $131.5 million combined potential value portfolio concentrated almost entirely in Defense Logistics Agency Aviation procurement.

The company is a for-profit small business headquartered in Issaquah, Washington, with manufacturing operations in Preston, Washington. Mechatronics does not hold SBA certifications (8(a), HUBZone, SDVOSB, or WOSB) and competes predominantly on full-and-open, unrestricted contracts rather than set-aside vehicles, though it regularly wins small business set-aside delivery orders under its existing indefinite delivery contracts. The company operates under primary NAICS 336320 (Ball and Roller Bearing Manufacturing) and PSC codes 3010 (Bearings, Plain, Unmounted) and 3005 (Bearings, Antifriction, Unmounted), reflecting its core business as a precision bearing manufacturer for aerospace and defense.

Mechatronics' concrete capability footprint centers on manufacturing and supply of annular ball bearings, airframe ball bearings, duplex ball bearings, cylindrical and tapered roller bearings, plain self-aligning and rod-end bearings, spherical plain bearings, bearing sleeves and bushings, bearing assemblies, and related mechanical hardware identified by National Stock Numbers. Representative recent work includes a $514,954 total small business set-aside purchase order from DLA Aviation (January 2026) for 43 units of annular ball bearings (NSN 3110010944412) for delivery to DLA Distribution Corpus Christi; a $428,268 total small business set-aside order (February 2026) for 77 units of bearing unit rollers (NSN 3130008385639); a $334,153 total small business set-aside purchase order (February 2026) for 488 units of duplex ball bearings; and a $305,450 total small business set-aside order (November 2025) for 410 units of spacer sleeves (NSN 5365013832007). Outside DLA Aviation, Mechatronics received a $92,040 purchase order from the U.S. Coast Guard (July 2026) for 885 units of seat rollers for MH-60T helicopters and a $7,040 purchase order from Naval Sea Systems Command (December 2025) for flanged sleeve bearing components in corrosion-resistant steel.

Customer concentration is extreme and heavily concentrated in DLA Aviation. DLA Aviation accounts for 3,133 awards (97% of the portfolio by count) valued at $127.7 million (97% of combined potential value). The next four customer agencies—the U.S. Coast Guard (15 awards, $1.6 million), DLA Land and Maritime (27 awards, $1.1 million), Naval Supply Systems Command (13 awards, $590 thousand), and Naval Sea Systems Command (12 awards, $275 thousand)—collectively account for only 3% of combined potential value. This concentration reflects Mechatronics' position as an established, preferred supplier within DLA Aviation's bearing supply chain rather than diversified federal customer exposure.

Mechatronics holds four single-award indefinite delivery contracts with DLA Aviation: an unrestricted $2.5 million IDIQ (awarded March 2026, through February 2031) covering comprehensive precision bearing products across multiple National Stock Numbers; a $350,000 total small business set-aside IDC (awarded January 2026, through January 2031) for annular ball bearings (NSN 3110-00-554-5237); a $350,000 total small business set-aside IDC (awarded November 2025, through November 2030) for additional bearing categories; and a $350,000 total small business set-aside IDC (awarded November 2025, through November 2030) covering further bearing types. The largest parent vehicle in the source data is Indefinite Delivery Contract SPE4A223D0002, which carries 441 task orders valued at $14.8 million combined potential value. These IDIQs enable DLA Aviation to issue firm-fixed-price delivery orders for specific bearing components as operational requirements arise without conducting separate competitive solicitations, and they represent Mechatronics' primary federal contracting mechanism.

Activity has grown substantially over five years. The award count increased from 503 awards in 2022 to 861 in 2025, with 129 awards recorded in the first half of 2026. A recompete cliff exists: 346 awards (combined potential value $17 million) reach ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, representing exposure to recompete risk and competitive opportunity for new bearing entrants.

Mechatronics operates as a 100% prime contractor on the federal side. The source identifies a single sub-award: a bearing supply sub-task under Integrated Solutions For Systems, Inc. for B-52 Long Range Stand Off carriage equipment bearing components (October 2024). This one sub-award against 3,217 total awards reflects a prime-centric business model with minimal subcontracting.

The company has held Department of Defense approved supplier status since 2001 and maintains established relationships with DLA Aviation spanning over 200 individual purchase orders and delivery orders per recent award summary language in the source material. Firm fixed-price pricing predominates across Mechatronics' federal contracts. The portfolio spans bearing component NSNs, source-controlled drawing items, and military specification compliance across aircraft, ground vehicles, and general defense logistics applications, positioning Mechatronics as a critical small business vendor within the DLA Aviation supply chain for precision mechanical components supporting military equipment readiness and maintenance operations.
