1. PROGRAM OBJECTIVES

1.1. Purpose. The Defense Threat Reduction Agency (DTRA) plans to establish a multiple-award Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity (ID/IQ) contract vehicle, Cooperative Threat Reduction Integrating Contract III (CTRIC III), to strengthen infrastructure, provide training and mentorship, and perform collaborative research to counter global weapons of mass destruction (WMD) threats in permissive and less than permissive environments, in cooperation with partner nations. Through CTRIC III, DTRA will combine CTRIC II and the Biological Threat Reduction Integrating Contract (BTRIC) implementation vehicles and may include efforts for the broader United Stated Government threat reduction community. This Statement of Objectives (SOO) will identify the objectives DTRA plans to achieve through CTRIC III.

DTRA employs dynamic solutions to address emerging threats. To these ends, CTRIC III will be used to meet these threats and to bolster national and international chemical, biological, radiological, nuclear, and high explosives (CBRNE) security. Rapid ordering solutions will be leveraged to meet crises such as the elimination of chemical weapons stockpiles in Syria and the response to the Ebola virus outbreak in Africa.

Once primarily a Russia-focused program, the Department of Defense’s (DoD) Cooperative Threat Reduction (CTR) Program concluded fissile material security work with Russia in fiscal year 2015 (FY15) and concluded its final project in Russia in FY16. The Program is now engaged in Eastern Europe and Eurasia; the Middle East, Southwest Asia, Asia, and North Africa; Sub-Saharan Africa; and East and Southeast Asia and India. The Program’s plans for the next five years include working with Tunisia and potentially other North African governments to reduce the threat of non-state actors acquiring or proliferating WMD and related materials across unstable borders; partnering with Ukraine’s National Guard to strengthen nuclear security capabilities; and continuing to build stronger capabilities in Southeast Asia and Africa to detect and report outbreaks of Ebola virus disease (EVD) and other diseases of security concern, with particular focus on developing new partnerships with West African governments while expanding and enhancing existing engagements in East and South Africa. In addition, the Program will seek to initiate cooperation with potential new partner countries Indonesia, Malaysia, and Thailand to prevent the proliferation of WMD and related materials through Southeast Asia’s strategically located waters. Even as the risk and threats the Program is called upon to mitigate continue to evolve, the Program will ensure a rigorous focus on its core threat reduction mission and remain the United States (U.S.) Government’s most comprehensive, flexible tool to reduce the threat to the U.S. and its allies and partners from WMD and related materials.

2. CONTRACT OBJECTIVES
