BACKGROUND

The Defense Threat Reduction Agency’s (DTRA) mission is to safeguards America and its allies from Weapons of Mass Destruction (WMD), specifically chemical, biological, radiological, nuclear, and high explosives (CBRNE) threats. DTRA fulfills this mission by providing the Office of the Secretary of Defense (OSD), the Department of Defense (DoD), the military services, Combatant Commanders (COCOMS), other Federal Agencies, and our US allies, with capabilities to reduce, eliminate, and counter the CBRNE threats and mitigate their effects. These capabilities are developed, improved, and promulgated to the aforementioned customers through extensive programs focusing on safety, security, accountability, control, reliability, emergency/disaster response/recovery, training, transportation and storage, infrastructure, related technologies and research activities.

OBJECTIVE

The Objective of this requirement is to acquire Advisory and Assistance Services (A&AS) to support DTRA’s Combat Support (CS) and Nuclear Support (NS) Directorates within the Operations Enterprise in the daily performance and execution of the CS and NS Directorate mission sets which are summarized below:

a. Combat Support (CS) Directorate

This CS Directorate provides a vital role in fulfilling DTRA’s mission to combat WMDs. The CS initiatives include, but are not limited to, assessing U.S. vulnerabilities in countering WMDs; providing force protection training, assisting with the development and execution of WMD counter and defeat capabilities; and performing vulnerability assessments at U.S. installations worldwide; providing consequence management support for WMD incidents and accidents and support for our strategic deterrent. CS also provides this counter WMD support to the Joint Chiefs of Staff, the Joint Staff, the Combatant Commands, and military services.

b. Nuclear Support (NS) Directorate NS provides/performs the following efforts in support of DTRA’s mission: provide DoD nuclear mission support to OSD, Joint Chiefs of Staff, COCOMS and military services; partner with the National Nuclear Security Administration on nuclear surety/safety related matters; supports the viability and credibility of and accountability of the US nuclear forces; serve as DTRA’s focal point for matters related to the Department of Energy’s (DOE) Stockpile Stewardship Plan (SSP) and DoD's nuclear forces; serves as DTRA's focal point for interactions with the Nuclear Weapons Council (NWC) and other high level nuclear weapons-related groups; provide support to DoD plans, technical and operational support, and sustainment of U.S. nuclear forces; provide policy support on technical and operational matters pertaining to management and sustainment of the U.S. nuclear weapons stockpile including the reliability, accountability, safety, security, and control of nuclear weapons; act as the Executive Agent for both the ATSD NCB for Annual Certification and US Strategic Command (STRATCOM) for the nuclear weapons stockpile; directly advise the Commander, US Strategic Command (COMSTRAT) on DOE's implementation of the DOE SSP, the safety and reliability of each weapon in the stockpile, and matters relevant to the certification of nuclear weapons in the stockpile; and conduct Defense Nuclear Surety Inspections (DNSI) to provide the DoD and Joint Staff with an independent assessment of service compliance of nuclear service requirements.

SCOPE

The CS and NS Directorates have far ranging support requirements due to the numerous initiatives and DTRA mission set requirements they support. Further, in numerous instances, the initiatives / programs of CS and NS have mutually beneficial outcomes and/or are interrelated to the extent that the research, findings, deliverables, studies, or other contractual services/deliverables from one Directorate have cross Directorate effects and or application. As a result, this requirement requires close coordination and integration within the CS and NS Directorates in order to effectively and efficiently execute their requirements across Directorates, as appropriate. This acquisition therefore requires dedicated and unbiased A&AS Subject Matter Experts (SMEs) who shall serve as DTRA’s “trusted agent,” both internally and externally, in support of the CS / NS Directorates. The A&AS support requirements for this effort fall into the following eight functional areas summarized below:

· Assessments, Exercises, Inspections and Training

· Consequence Management

· Contingency Operations

· Modeling and Simulation

· Nuclear Weapons Reporting, Physical Security and Stockpile Management

· Plans and Programs

· Support to Groups and Committees, Other DoD Organizations and Outside Agencies

· Program Management and Acquisition Support

An elaboration of these functional support areas is provided in Section 4.0.
