Selection into Cornerstone is more than just a membership

Supply Energetics Joins the Cornerstone OTA: Accelerating the Future of U.S. Energetics

At Supply Energetics, our mission has always been clear: to eliminate foreign dependencies and ensure the U.S. and Allied warfighter never face a propellant shortage. Today, we are taking a major step forward in that mission.

We are proud to announce that Supply Energetics has been officially selected to join the Cornerstone Other Transaction Agreement (OTA) consortium.

Why Cornerstone Matters Managed by the U.S. Army, Cornerstone is a strategic initiative designed to strengthen the U.S. Industrial Base. It serves as a bridge between the Department of Defense and innovative companies capable of solving "hard problems" in the supply chain-specifically in sectors like chemicals and energetics.

What This Means for Supply Energetics Selection into Cornerstone is more than just a membership; it is a validation of our "Speed to Market" philosophy. By joining this ecosystem, we gain a direct pathway to collaborate with the DoD on:

  • Modernizing the Organic Industrial Base (OIB): Replacing aging infrastructure with resilient, modular manufacturing.
  • Reshoring Critical Precursors: Ensuring that MILSPEC Nitrocellulose and other energetic materials are born and bred on American soil.
  • Innovative Contracting: Utilizing the flexibility of the OTA to move from "concept to capability" at the speed of relevance.

From our build in Parsons, KS, to our R&D work in the Mojave, we are ready to bring our unique blend of private capital agility and veteran-led precision to the Cornerstone table. We’re ready to get to work.
