Who can bid
This solicitation is open to all responsible sources—no small-business set-aside applies. Any manufacturer or distributor capable of meeting the technical and quality requirements may submit a quote.
For bearing manufacturing work under NAICS 332991, bidders typically need:
- Aerospace quality certifications (AS9100 or equivalent quality management system)
- DLA qualification or approval to supply the specific National Stock Number, if required
- Traceability documentation for materials and manufacturing processes
- Military or aerospace bearing production experience
Small businesses are automatically eligible to compete. If you are a small manufacturer in this NAICS (size standard typically 1,000 employees; see the solicitation for applicable size standard), you may still benefit from subcontracting opportunities or supplier development programs even without a set-aside.
Foreign entities should verify whether this item is subject to Buy American requirements or Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement (DFARS) restrictions on specialty metals and domestic sourcing.
How to put together a competitive bid
Since this is a non-set-aside, price-competitive procurement for a DLA Aviation spare part, focus on these elements:
Technical compliance: Confirm your part 369135 exactly matches the specification, including material, tolerances, and approved manufacturer data. DLA acquisitions are unforgiving on technical non-compliance—verify against the Item Identification Guide or drawing referenced in the solicitation.
Quality documentation: Prepare to submit certificates of conformance, material certifications, and process certifications. For aerospace bearings, expect diminishing manufacturing sources and material shortages (DMSMS) documentation requirements.
Pricing strategy: DLA uses automated competitive pricing tools and historical data. Research recent awarded prices for this NSN through FPDS or CGM (Contractor Group Manager) databases. Consider total lifecycle costs including packaging and shipping to DLA Aviation Richmond.
Past performance: Highlight relevant DLA or military aviation supply experience. New entrants should demonstrate comparable commercial aerospace bearing contracts.
Submission format: Combined synopsis/solicitations typically require response through DLA Internet Bid Board System (DIBBS) or the method specified in the full solicitation. Ensure your SAM.gov registration is active and your CAGE code is current.
