The Department of Defense, through the Naval Air Warfare Center – Aircraft Division, is seeking to procure specialized bearing installation and removal tools from Rexnord Industries for the V-22 Osprey aircraft. This procurement is limited to Brand Name Only tools, necessitating that vendors demonstrate their status as authorized distributors of Rexnord products, as the technical specifications are proprietary and inhibit competitive bidding. The tools are critical for the maintenance of pitch link bearings, ensuring operational readiness of the aircraft, with deliveries required by March 31, 2025, to the Naval Air Warfare Center in New Jersey. Interested vendors must submit their proposals by September 12, 2024, to Jeff Chelston at jeffrey.m.chelston.civ@us.navy.mil, and ensure their SAM.gov registration is active for contract award eligibility.
