About this opportunity
The Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) awarded a sole-source, firm fixed-price Indefinite Delivery Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract to Cleveland-Cliffs Inc. for Domain Refined Grain Oriented Electrical Steel (DR-GOES), a specialized iron-silicon alloy used in power transformer cores. The contract spans a five-year ordering period with an estimated total quantity of 53,540 net tons, distributed across annual contract line items ranging from 2,024 to 15,282 net tons per year. The sole-source justification was issued under FAR 6.302-3(a)(2)(i) because Cleveland-Cliffs Inc. is currently the only domestic supplier capable of producing DR-GOES to the required specifications, as confirmed through market research conducted from October 2020 to February 2025. The steel must meet rigorous technical requirements including maximum core loss of 0.280 W/lb, minimum peak permeability of 1.875, and nominal thickness between 0.008-0.0098 inches, with delivery to the DLA Strategic Materials Hammond Depot in Indiana. While the contract value has been redacted, the procurement is critical to supporting both Department of Defense and Department of Energy requirements, with the first delivery order expected within two years of the September 25, 2025 contract award date.
