The Combating Weapons of Mass Destruction (CWMD) Research and Development Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract vehicle is a comprehensive multiple-award contract established by the Defense Threat Reduction Agency (DTRA) to support advanced research, development, testing, and evaluation of technologies and methodologies related to countering weapons of mass destruction. The contract enables DTRA to rapidly procure specialized technical services across a wide range of domains, including nuclear effects modeling, electromagnetic pulse testing, target assessment, systems engineering, and scientific modeling for potential WMD scenarios. The IDIQ supports the agency's mission to develop, assess, and transition capabilities that prevent, protect against, respond to, and mitigate potential WMD threats through cutting-edge research and technological innovation.

The task orders under this IDIQ consistently demonstrate a cost-plus-fixed-fee contract structure with ceiling values typically ranging from approximately $1 million to $100 million and performance periods extending up to December 2025. Prime contractors frequently include Applied Research Associates (ARA), Leidos, HII Mission Technologies, Peraton (Harris), Raytheon, and Northrop Grumman, with each firm leveraging substantial technical capabilities in areas such as modeling, simulation, systems engineering, and data analytics. Most task orders are not set aside for small businesses and are primarily funded by DTRA, with work predominantly performed in locations like Albuquerque, New Mexico; Herndon, Virginia; and Fort Belvoir, Virginia. The task orders cover diverse technical domains including nuclear effects analysis, electromagnetic pulse testing, target assessment technologies, systems vulnerability assessments, and advanced research into potential WMD threat mitigation strategies.
