What Bits means in its world

Bits are how The Outer Worlds turns scavenged gear and completed jobs into better options for the Unreliable's crew. They cover weapons, armor, consumables and maintenance choices, so a conversation reward can matter as much as a crate of loot.

Different vendors favor different stock, and companion or faction choices can affect how a purchase feels in the story. Selling every item is not always wise if it fills a gap in the current party setup.
