Original Set Aside:

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 Deputy Assistant Secretary of Defense for Industrial Policy via its Manufacturing Resiliency and Assurance Office, and Industrial Base Analysis and Sustainment Program (10 U.S.C. § 2508), in conjunction with Army Contracting Command – Rock Island (ACC-RI), manages the Cornerstone Other Transaction Agreement (OTA), in accordance with 10 U.S.C. § 2371b. 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 (NSWC) Crane, intends to issue a competitive Cornerstone Initiative Request (CIR) for Strategic Radiation Hardened Field Programmable Gate Array on or after November 3, 2021, with an estimated closing date of 30 calendar days after issuance. The CIR for Strategic Radiation Hardened Field Programmable Gate Array is restricted to Cornerstone consortium members. The CIR will solicit proposals for up to two (2) fixed-price OTA with incremental payments made upon completion of specific milestones. Period of performance will be 48 months. A non-competitive follow-on production OT may be awarded following a successful prototype. The objective of this effort is to develop and demonstrate a strategic radiation hardened (SRH), high reliability field programmable gate array (FPGA) technology to support identified and future Department of Defense (DoD) strategic and space system requirements. The SRH FPGA will be based on a microelectronic fabrication process that is resident at a US owned and continental US (CONUS)-based manufacturing facility. Any OT awarded as a result of this initiative will incorporate a clause in response to Executive Order 14042, Ensuring Adequate COVID-19 Safety Protocols for Federal Contractors signed September 9, 2021; as well as FAR clause 52.204-25, Prohibition on Contracting for Certain Telecommunications and Video Surveillance Services or Equipment, dated Aug 2020. The CIR for Strategic Radiation Hardened Field Programmable Gate Array 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. Please email all questions and responses to the following mailbox: usarmy.ria.ccdc-cbc.mbx.cornerstone-ota@army.mil This Special Notice is for planning purposes only and does not constitute a CIR or an obligation on behalf of the U.S. Government. Issuance of this Special Notice is not a guarantee of a future CIR or an award and is not a commitment of any kind by the Government.
