300 M Steel Buffer

DLA is seeking offers from mills/producers that are currently certified for the production of steel Grade 300M to develop, implement, and manage a strategic material buffer solution for improving availability of steel Grade 300M that would directly support manufactures of DOD/DLA repair parts. The material buffer should contain a maximum monthly quantity for the various forms (size and shape) and guarantee a lead time for the material requirements listed in PWS, Table 1, Maximum Monthly Requirements. See attached PWS. Uninterrupted access to the 300M inventory will allow for commercial capability to support wartime mobilization and sustain military combat operations.
