About this opportunity
The Defense Logistics Agency has issued a Limited/Sole Source Justification Notice for modification of contract SP8000-22-C-0008 to increase strategic buffer quantities of bearing grade specialty steel materials for the DLA Industrial Capability Program. The modification involves three specialized steel grades (440C, 52100, and M50) used in bearings and bearing-related components, increasing the total contract buffer quantity by 6,885,108 pounds. The sole source justification is based on Carpenter Technology Corporation (which acquired Latrobe Specialty Metals Company) being the only current supplier capable of providing these specialized steel materials with the required high heat resistance and durability characteristics. The contract was awarded on July 28, 2025, though the specific award amount remains undisclosed. The current contract is in its third year, operating under Option Year 2 from September 2024 to September 2025, with potential expiration on September 22, 2027, if all options are exercised. This bilateral agreement modification allows DLA time to develop industrial base capabilities and potentially compete future solicitations for these critical defense materials.
