- Description
- U.S. Army Combat Capabilities Development Command � Chemical Biological Center (DEVCOM CBC), Rock Island, IL, on behalf of the Office of the Secretary of Defense, Office of the Assistant Secretary of Defense for Industrial Base Policy via its Innovation Capability and Modernization Program (10 U.S.C. � 4817), in conjunction with Army Contracting Command � Rock Island (ACC-RI), manages the Cornerstone Other Transaction Agreement (OTA), in accordance with 10 U.S.C. � 4022. Cornerstone was architected to create a broad-based, flexible and enduring public-private consortium focused on strategic strengthening of the U.S. Manufacturing and Defense Industrial Base and provide a strong complement to the mandates in Presidential Executive Order 13806. ACC-RI, on behalf of DEVCOM CBC and Naval Surface Warfare Center Crane, intends to issue a competitive Cornerstone Initiative Request (CIR) for Munitions Supply Chain Diversification on or after 29 May 2024, with an estimated closing date of 28 June 2024 days after issuance. The CIR for Munitions Supply Chain Diversification is restricted to Cornerstone consortium members. The CIR will solicit proposals for one fixed price OTA prototype with incremental payments made upon completion of specific milestones. Period of performance will be 60 months. The Government will not pursue a full-rate production contract associated with the compact multi-range building; however, test range results may drive details behind the Navy�s decision to pursue a Full Rate Production decision in FY26/27 for the Martitime Strike Tomahawk equipped missiles. The objective of this effort is the Multi-range Test Facility requires modernization and updates, specifically a seeker kit to convert it into a missile with long range Anti-Surface Warfare capability. The development of a new multi-range to support production of the passive seeks will enhance current testing capabilities of the passive seekers and improve seeker kit production capacity. Developing a new multi-range will accelerate production to increase throughput capacity. An additional multi-range will support in fabrication and quality and performance testing of the seeker assembly.� This project will enhance the manufacturing capabilities of the supplier and enable accelerated integration of the technical components. Any OT awarded as a result of this initiative will incorporate revised FAR clause 52.204-25, Prohibition on Contracting for Certain Telecommunications and Video Surveillance Services or Equipment, dated Aug 2020 and DFARS Clause 252.232-7006 WAWF Payment Instructions. The CIR for Munitions Supply Chain Diversification will be communicated to the Cornerstone consortium and companies with pending applications via email. Entities are required to have begun the membership process for their proposal to be reviewed. Entities must be members of the Cornerstone consortium, with a signed Cornerstone Consortium Management Agreement, to be awarded this OTA task. Contractors may obtain Cornerstone registration information by inquiring at: usarmy.ria.ccdc-cbc.mbx.cornerstone-ota@army.mil Interested parties should stay alert for any changes that may be published to this sam.gov posting.
