THE DEFENSE THREAT REDUCTION AGENCY

COOPERATIVE THREAT REDUCTION

LOGISTICS SUPPORT (CLS)

STATEMENT OF OBJECTIVES (SOO)

dated 7 May 2012

The Defense Threat Reduction Agency (DTRA) is the U.S. Department of Defense’s (DoD) official Combat Support Agency for countering weapons of mass destruction (WMD). The mission of DTRA is to safeguard the United States and its allies from WMD including chemical, biological, radiological, nuclear, and high-yield explosives (CBRNE) by providing capabilities to reduce, eliminate, and counter the WMD threat and mitigate its effects. DTRA’s Cooperative Threat Reduction (CTR) Program is a critical component of the U.S. Government’s (USG) approach to threat reduction, which promotes collaboration with international and non-governmental partners in order to advance regional engagement and multilateral cooperation while developing locally appropriate, sustainable programs.

1. PURPOSE. The purpose of this contract is to facilitate mission support for DTRA’s J-3C Operations/Exercise & Readiness, CTR Program Integration, Program Support (CTIS) through a worldwide logistics program.

2. SCOPE/MISSION: The primary mission of CTIS is to plan, program, manage, and execute flexible, efficient, and effective core logistics services including global supply chain management and personnel logistics support throughout all areas of responsibility (AoR), and in all operational and physical environments. From time to time, other on-demand logistics support services (emerging requirements) may be required for world-wide operations that are seamlessly integrated across all programs.

3. PERIOD AND PLACE OF PERFORMANCE: The Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) ordering period of this contract will be three (3) years with two (2) one-year option periods. This contract will allow the Task Order period of performance to extend one year beyond the ordering period. The place of performance of this contract is worldwide.

4. BACKGROUND: With the passage of the Soviet Nuclear Threat Reduction Act of 1991, Senators Sam Nunn and Richard Lugar enabled a far reaching program that responds to the threat of proliferation of WMD and related expertise and knowledge. Since 1992, the CTR Program has focused its efforts on reducing the risks associated with WMD. Originally, that focus was geographically limited to the states of the former Soviet Union (FSU). The FY 2008 National Defense Authorization Act removed this limitation and authorized the CTR Program, contingent upon a determination by the Secretary of Defense and in coordination with the Secretary of State, to conduct projects and activities with partners outside the FSU.

The CTR Program directly supports broader U.S. national security objectives and initiatives by:

· dismantling strategic weapons delivery systems and infrastructure;

· enhancing security and safety of WMD and fissile material, during transportation and storage, through physical upgrades and training;

· consolidating and secures dangerous pathogens at risk for theft, diversion, accidental release, or use by terrorists;

· enhancing partner states’ capacity to detect, diagnose, and report bio-terror attacks and potential pandemics, in compliance with international health reporting requirements;

· facilitating biological research partnerships;

· helping prevent proliferation of WMD and related materials, through the establishment of land and maritime surveillance systems; and

· supporting security cooperation, with the objective of reducing WMD threats

As the CTR program matures and expands its scope of preventing the proliferation of WMD, its logistics support requirements are increasing. While still conducting operations in the FSU, the emphasis has shifted to infrastructure and other support services beyond the FSU.

5. PERFORMANCE OBJECTIVES. The objective of this contract is to provide efficient and effective logistics support to all program areas under the CTR Program, throughout all areas of responsibility (AORs) and in all operational and physical environments.
