Cory Cornell

Cory Cornell supports the procurement mission of the 0413 Aq Hq RCO-AK Wainwright, a key element of the Department of the Army responsible for sustaining operational readiness at Fort Wainwright and other Alaskan installations. In this capacity, Cornell manages acquisitions critical to infrastructure resilience, environmental compliance, and garrison support in a challenging high-latitude environment. Their work centers on securing services that maintain facility integrity, ensure regulatory adherence, and enable day-to-day military operations, with a focus on remediation, landscaping, and industrial supply contracts. Cornell plays a pivotal role in aligning contracting actions with the Army’s strategic priorities for base sustainment and mission assurance in remote regions. The primary contractor relationship is with CLEAN & SERENE LLC, which consistently delivers core services under long-term task order arrangements. While the portfolio is dominated by this single vendor, the contracting approach reflects a deliberate reliance on proven performers with demonstrated capability in Arctic-condition operations. Vendor partnerships are characterized by performance-based outcomes, strict compliance with environmental standards, and a preference for contractors with prior experience in Alaskan logistics and infrastructure maintenance. Cornell’s procurement strategy allocates 25% of awards to Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5, demonstrating a structured commitment to small business participation without reliance on specialized socioeconomic programs like 8(a) or HUBZone. The remaining 75% of acquisitions are unrestricted, reflecting a balance between competitive open competition and targeted small business opportunities to ensure capability and continuity. The portfolio is heavily concentrated in NAICS 562910 (Remediation Services), reflecting urgent needs for soil and groundwater cleanup at former military sites, alongside NAICS 325120 (Industrial Gas Manufacturing) for cryogenic and hazardous gas supply, and NAICS 561730 (Landscaping Services) for erosion control and habitat management. This specialization underscores deep technical expertise in environmental remediation, cold-region infrastructure support, and mission-critical utility services tailored to Arctic operational demands.
