MISSION SUPPORT – WMD THREAT REDUCTION CONSULTING SERVICES

Statement of Work

May 2026

I. Background

The U.S. Department of State (DOS), Bureau of Arms Control and Nonproliferation (ACN) and

Disarmament Fund (NDF) is responsible for managing a broad range of U.S. proliferation threat reduction projects. NDF supports efforts to prevent or otherwise inhibit the spread of nuclear, biological, chemical, or radiological weapons of mass destruction (WMD), their delivery systems, and conventional weapons. It does this through the development, execution, and implementation of carefully selected projects with nonproliferation, disarmament and/or arms control objectives.

When a potential host country provides the opportunity for the United States to help them remove, destroy, or otherwise disable dangerous weapons systems or associated infrastructure, it is important to be able to respond promptly. Therefore, it is imperative for the NDF to have the capability to support such efforts with flexibility, agility and rapid response to meet NDF’s mission requirements. ACN/NDF occasionally learns of certain sites where (WMD), heavy conventional munitions or other dangerous materials are stored and often these sites have inadequate measures in place to ensure their security. In such instances, ACN/NDF takes necessary steps to upgrade security at sites that are vulnerable to non-state actor(s) or proliferation activities. Given the current geopolitical climate, the need to secure these sites adequately is of the utmost urgency to U.S. national security and interests abroad.

II. Scope

Pursuant to the terms of the IDIQ, the Contractor will provide a broad array services (weapons of mass destruction (WMD)1 technical consulting services) in support of ACN/NDF efforts to assist host nations in removing, destroying, or disabling WMD, conventional munitions, the associated production, storage, and/or transport infrastructure for the aforementioned threats, or other dangerous materials.

The contractor shall provide professional WMD technical consulting services as required by individual task orders issued under this IDIQ contract. Services may be required in the following areas:

1 WMD is understood in this Statement of Work to refer to fissile material; hazardous chemical or biological material;

or radiological material; fentanyl.

• Prepare cadre of capable experts who possess knowledge of international transport systems for physical removal of any WMD and conventional weapons from a host country is also needed.

• Provide cadre of capable experts who can advise on destruction of production and storage facilities for these systems.

• Provide cadre of capable experts who possess the expertise to review technical data on diverse projects and provide practical advice and technical analysis to include the development of conceptual methods of elimination. Additionally, the experts must be capable of participating in any Department of State or interagency U.S. Government meeting as a technical expert and advisor on any topic related to the destruction and elimination of chemical, biological, radiological, or nuclear WMD and production facilities.

• Prepare cadre of experts appropriate to the situation at hand to travel with as little as 48 hours’ notice to countries where the U.S. Government cannot provide indemnification or guarantee legal protections; including privileges and immunities from host country civil and criminal laws, and Contractor personnel cannot be armed.

The following provide a general overview of the tasks the Contractor shall perform in carrying out the scope and range of activities described above. Specific performance requirements and details will be further defined in Task Order(s) issued by the Government.

A. Site surveys

When directed by the Government (PM) and with as little as 48 hours’ notice, the Contractor shall travel to foreign areas to collect information sufficient to enable the Contractor to advise the U.S. Government of the anticipated scope of effort necessary to complete the proposed destruction, demilitarization, threat reduction, or removal activity. Services in this category may also include activities in the United States either preparatory to or separate from participation as part of a team travelling to potential host countries. Site surveys may include conducting an inventory of the weapons and/or material proposed for destruction, removal, threat reduction, and/or demilitarization. The Contractor will provide a report of each visit, and if directed, a written Concept of Operations appropriate for the situation.

B. Concept design

Using the results of the site survey, as well as other documents and professional evaluations, the

Contractor shall produce a draft proposal, with various options, for eliminating and/or removing the items identified in the site survey. The candidate weapons may include weapons of mass destruction, delivery systems, conventional weapons, their associated production facilities, storage facilities, transport systems, propellants, warheads that may be high explosive, cluster, chemical or biological and other auxiliary equipment and subsystems. The draft proposal must include general timelines, and an estimated budget.
