AI Contract Overview

The contract managed by the U.S. Army Combat Capabilities Development Command – Chemical Biological Center (CCDC CBC) in partnership with the Army Contracting Command – Rock Island (ACC-RI) and the Office of the Secretary of Defense aims to strengthen the U.S. Manufacturing and Defense Industrial Base through the Cornerstone Other Transaction Agreement (OTA) initiative. This effort is aligned with the mandates of Presidential Executive Order 13806 and is designed as a flexible and enduring public-private consortium. Specifically, the Cornerstone Initiative Request (CIR) CS-20-1513, scheduled for release on or after March 27, 2020, focuses on the CCU-106 Cartridge Prototype. The CIR will invite proposals exclusively from Cornerstone consortium members for a firm-fixed-price OTA contract, with a 12-month period of performance and milestone-based incremental payments. The goal is to validate and modernize the technical data package for the CCU-106 cartridge and produce 1,000 prototype units, incorporating updates to supply sources, specifications, regulatory compliance, and industry best practices. Participation in this solicitation requires entities to be members of the Cornerstone consortium with a signed Consortium Management Agreement, and those interested must initiate membership to have their proposals considered. The contract allows for a potential non-competitive follow-on production OTA contingent on successful prototype delivery. Communications and notifications related to this effort will occur via email to consortium members and applicants. Interested parties are encouraged to monitor updates on the federal procurement website and direct inquiries to the designated military email contact. It is important to note that this notice serves as a planning tool and does not guarantee the issuance of a CIR or any obligation by the government. The contract oversight is performed by the Department of Defense’s Joint Munitions Command, headquartered in Rock Island, Illinois.
