30--SHAFT ASSEMBLY,ROLLER
DEPT OF DEFENSE.DEFENSE LOGISTICS AGENCY.DLA LAND.DLA LAND COLUMBUS.DLA WEAPONS SUPPORT · Response deadline: Mon, 02 Nov 2026
What the government is buying
The Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Land—specifically DLA Land Columbus, under DLA Weapons Support—is seeking a shaft assembly, roller (Federal Supply Classification 30). This is a mechanical component typically used in rotating machinery systems, conveyor systems, or weapon system support equipment where rollers and shafts interface to enable movement, transfer loads, or maintain alignment.
Items in FSC 30 (mechanical power transmission equipment) cover components such as shafts, bearings, couplings, and related assemblies. A shaft assembly with a roller suggests a sub-assembly combining a central shaft with integrated roller elements—possibly for guided motion, tensioning, or load-bearing applications within military logistics or weapons maintenance systems.

The NAICS code 336413 corresponds to Other Aircraft Parts and Auxiliary Equipment Manufacturing. While this classification primarily covers aerospace components, DLA may apply it here if the shaft assembly serves aircraft weapon systems, ground support equipment tied to aviation operations, or if the supplier base overlaps with aerospace precision manufacturing capabilities. The absence of a set-aside means this opportunity is open to all responsible sources—large businesses, small businesses, and nontraditional defense contractors alike.
Who can bid
Any responsible offeror may submit a bid. Because no set-aside applies, there is no socioeconomic preference restricting competition to small businesses, woman-owned, veteran-owned, HUBZone, or 8(a) firms specifically. However, small businesses capable of aerospace-grade precision manufacturing remain competitive if they meet the technical and delivery requirements.
To bid, your firm should have:
- Experience manufacturing or supplying mechanical power transmission components to military or industrial specifications
- Capability to work with DLA's procurement systems (SAM registration required, active at time of award)
- Ability to meet any quality assurance or certification requirements referenced in the full solicitation (see the solicitation for specific standards such as MIL-STD, ISO, or OEM specifications)
How to put together a competitive bid
Focus on technical compliance first. Shaft assemblies for DLA typically require adherence to precise dimensional tolerances, material specifications, and surface finish requirements. Request the detailed specification from the solicitation to confirm you can manufacture to the exact drawing.
Understand DLA's pricing expectations. Research historical pricing for similar FSC 30 items through FPDS or DLA's eTool if available. DLA Land Columbus awards many fixed-price contracts; ensure your pricing accounts for material costs (likely alloy steel or specialized bearing-grade metals), machining, heat treatment, and any required testing.
Evaluate your supply chain for specialty requirements. If the roller involves bearings, seals, or coatings, confirm you have qualified suppliers or in-house capability. Long-lead materials should be factored into your delivery commitment.
Consider DLA's First Article Testing requirements. Many mechanical assemblies require pre-production approval. Determine whether this solicitation includes such a requirement and price accordingly.
Assess your Small Business status for future opportunities. While unrestricted, strong performance here builds past performance for future set-aside competitions in NAICS 336413.
