Cornerstone CS-27-0701 Generation 2 Narcotics Destruction Technology

uring 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, intends to issue a competitive Cornerstone Initiative Request (CIR) for Generation 2 Narcotics Destruction Technology on or after 08 October 2026, with an estimated closing date of 30 calendar days after issuance. The CIR for Generation 2 Narcotics Destruction Technology is restricted to Cornerstone consortium members. The CIR will solicit proposals for (1) fixed-price OTA with incremental payments made upon completion of specific milestones. Period of performance will be 36 months. A non-competitive follow-on production OT may be awarded following a successful prototype. The objective of this other transaction prototype project is to design, develop, and demonstrate the Generation 2 (Gen 2) Continuous Feed Narcotics Destruction prototype to modernize and streamline the disposal of seized illicit substances. This effort directly addresses critical logistical bottlenecks, high-maintenance footprints, and security vulnerabilities inherent in legacy batch-feed disposal systems. By transitioning to a high-throughput, continuous-feed technological architecture, this prototype accelerates destruction cycle times, significantly reducing the security risks, costs, and logistical burdens associated with the long-term storage and nationwide transport of seized contraband. Subject to funding, The Cornerstone CIR will solicit prototype fixed-priced proposals for two one Expenditure OTA Agreements with incremental payments made upon completion of specific milestones. The period of performance is estimated to be 36 months. A non-competitive follow-on production OT may be awarded following a successful prototype. Any OT awarded as a result of this initiative will incorporate the following clauses: 1. FAR clause 52.204-25, Prohibition on Contracting for Certain Telecommunications and Video Surveillance Services or Equipment 2. DFARS clause 252.232-7006, WAWF Payment Instructions 3. DFARS clause 252.204-7012, Safeguarding Covered Defense Information and Cyber Incident Reporting.
