ISN/ECC Strategic Trade Control Training

The Department of State Bureau of International Security and Nonproliferation awarded this Master IDIQ on May 24, 2017, with a shared ceiling of $35 million, but ordering closed on May 22, 2022 — this vehicle is no longer active and new task orders cannot be placed against it.

The vehicle contracted strategic trade control training delivery and expert consultation across legal and regulatory development, licensing procedures, government outreach to industry, border control inspection and interdiction, investigation and prosecution of violations, interagency coordination, and international cooperation. Work performed includes training delivery in partner countries (Albania, Kazakhstan, Mexico, Panama, Serbia, Tajikistan, and regional deployments), logistics and travel support, and equipment installation with related training.

Commonwealth Trading Partners Inc. holds 11 of 21 awarded task orders, representing $31.2 million of combined potential value and capturing roughly 64% of the vehicle's activity. U.S. Civilian Research and Development Foundation and Culmen International, LLC hold the remaining orders evenly at five each. All 21 awards were unrestricted competitions with no set-aside designations.

The Department of State Bureau of International Security and Nonproliferation placed 15 of 21 orders, worth $37.4 million combined potential value, establishing them as the dominant customer at roughly 77% of task-order volume. The Bureau of International Organization Affairs and the Bureau of Arms Control Verification and Compliance placed the remainder.

Combined task-order potential value reached $48.6 million against the $35 million vehicle ceiling, with $35.1 million obligated as of the most recent data (72% of combined potential). Task-order values ranged from roughly $54,900 to $10.4 million in potential value; representative recent awards included a $6.65 million firm-fixed-price order issued September 2023 and a $9.02 million ceiling order issued August 2022. Ordering activity remained consistent through closure, with 2–3 orders per year in the final five years. The most recent task order award occurred September 30, 2023, roughly one year after the ordering deadline, indicating residual execution on existing awards rather than new procurements under the vehicle.
