About this opportunity
The Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) issued a Limited/Sole Source Justification Notice for the procurement of Domain Refined Grain Oriented Electrical Steel (DR-GOES), a specialized silicon steel material used primarily in power transformer cores for the National Defense Stockpile. The procurement was awarded to Cleveland-Cliffs Inc. as a sole source supplier under a five-year firm fixed price Indefinite Delivery Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract, justified under FAR 6.302-3(a)(2)(i) because Cleveland-Cliffs is currently the only domestic producer of DR-GOES that meets Department of Defense and Department of Energy specifications. The contract allows for the purchase of up to 53,450 Net Tons of DR-GOES over the five-year period, with estimated annual quantities ranging from 2,024 to 15,282 Net Tons. DLA Strategic Materials conducted extensive market research from October 2020 to February 2025, including interviews with material users and government program offices, which confirmed Cleveland-Cliffs' unique position as the sole domestic manufacturer capable of producing this critical material. While the specific contract value was not disclosed in the redacted documents, the procurement supports national security objectives by maintaining domestic industrial capabilities for strategically important materials.
