About this opportunity

The Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) awarded a $400 million firm fixed price Indefinite Delivery Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract to Cleveland-Cliffs Inc. for the supply of Domain Refined Grain Oriented Electrical Steel (DR-GOES), a specialized silicon steel used primarily as core material for power transformers.

This sole-source procurement was justified under FAR 6.302-3(a)(2)(i) because Cleveland-Cliffs is currently the only domestic producer capable of manufacturing this specialized material that meets Department of Defense and Department of Energy specifications. The contract includes a two-year timeline for the first delivery order and establishes comprehensive technical requirements for the steel including specific core loss, permeability, and dimensional standards.
