ATTACHMENT A

Statement of Work

The Department of State requests that potential offerors submit a proposal in response to the attached Performance Work Statement.

1. BACKGROUND

The anticipated contract will take the form of a Time and Materials Contract for the

Bureau of International Security and Nonproliferation’s (ISN) Office of Cooperative

Threat Reduction (CTR).

1.1 ISN/CTR

The Department of State’s ISN/CTR is funded by the Nonproliferation, Anti-terrorism, Demining and Related Programs (NADR) account. CTR’s global threat reduction programs are aimed at preventing proliferator states and nonstate actors from developing or acquiring weapons of mass destruction (WMD), advanced conventional weapons

(ACW), delivery systems, and advanced and emerging technologies with WMD-applicability that could threaten the U.S. homeland and U.S. interests abroad. The purpose of this solicitation is to provide professional, scientific, and technical services as well as administrative and budget management services to ISN/CTR.

ISN/CTR’s mission began after the fall of the Soviet Union, and ISN/CTR’s threat reduction tools have been used to address a wide-range of nonproliferation challenges in the past thirty-plus years. As threats from proliferator states and terrorists continue and evolve in the future, ISN/CTR will rely on professional, scientific, and technical services as well as administrative and budget management services in order to carry out

ISN/CTR’s nonproliferation mission.

ISN/CTR’s authorities include promoting bilateral and multilateral nonproliferation and counterproliferation activities in over 100 countries around the world and include efforts to:

• Advance bilateral and multilateral efforts to halt the proliferation of nuclear, biological, and chemical weapons, their delivery systems, related advanced and emerging technologies and information, and other weapons;

• Establishing programs to assist foreign partners in preventing the proliferation of nuclear, biological, chemical, and other weapons and related information, expertise, technology, and sensitive data;

• Assist countries considering small modular reactors in meeting the highest international standards of nuclear security, nonproliferation, and safety;

• Supporting foreign partners with the capabilities to prevent, detect, deter, and document the potential use of WMD; and

• Assisting foreign governments in enforcing U.S. sanctions and United Nation

Security Council Resolutions (UNSCRs) related to the development, proliferation, transportation and financing of WMD and delivery systems.

2. SCOPE

This contract will provide for full-time onsite personnel support to ISN/CTR’s global programs aimed at reducing threats posed by proliferator states and terrorist organizations seeking to acquire weapons of mass destruction and delivery systems, as well as associated material, equipment, and expertise. Cooperative threat reduction programs focus on critical states around the world where proliferator states seek to acquire WMD and terrorist threats are on the rise.

Further, regarding the work to be performed, the professional, scientific, and technical services will support ISN/CTR threat reduction projects by bringing to bear advanced expertise in fields such as national security; nonproliferation; counterproliferation and counterproliferation finance; counterterrorism; foreign assistance programming and budgets; understanding of countries or regions of interest, or science, engineering, or advanced and emerging technologies to support the design, development, execution, implementation, and close out of international threat reduction projects in a culturally-sensitive manner. The advanced and specialized professional, scientific, programmatic, and technical services will evaluate proliferation and WMD terrorism threats, design potential threat reduction solutions, develop associated projects with an understanding of the unique nature of ISN/CTR threat reduction programs, apply cultural and linguistic expertise to implementing programs in an internationally-sensitive manner, and support execution, implementation, and then close out of such projects, such as cooperative agreements and interagency agreements.

Additionally, regarding the work to be performed, the administrative management and budget management services will execute the specific tasks to support ISN/CTR’s budget processes such as budget planning, financial execution, financial monitoring, financial reconciliation, and financial close out of an annual appropriation of approximately $74 million in NADR funding, while utilizing the Six Sigma and related processes to guide, organize, and report on intended budget actions.

3. SUMMARY OF REQUIREMENTS

3.1 ISN/CTR Functions and Supporting Tasks

While this Performance Work Statement provides a best projection of current and near-term requirements, the specific evolutionary path of how ISN/CTR’s threat reduction mission will be carried out in the future cannot be precisely predicted. The labor categories and descriptions are likewise based on the best projections of current and near-term needs. The contractor must provide labor that possess the requisite advanced skill, knowledge, and abilities to perform these tasks.
