CTR A&AS STATEMENT OF WORK (SOW)

Revision 2 26 July 2019

Background

The Cooperative Threat Reduction (CTR) Program’s overarching mission is to partner with willing countries to reduce the threat from weapons of mass destruction (WMD) and related materials, technologies, facilities, and expertise. The CTR Program focuses on eliminating, securing, and consolidating WMD, related materials, and associated delivery systems and infrastructure at their source in partner countries. The CTR Program also focuses on building partner capacity to prevent the proliferation of WMD materials in transit across international borders.

The Department of Defense’s (DoD) approach to this set of activities includes the following:

• Supporting a layered defense approach to countering weapons of mass destruction;

• Building strategic relationships with key international partners that enhance threat reduction on a global scale;

• Supporting the resilience of the global nonproliferation framework by building partner capacities to enforce the tenets of that framework.

The CTR Program directly supports United States (U.S.) national security objectives and initiatives by:

• Eliminating WMD and dismantling strategic weapons delivery systems and infrastructure;

• Enhancing security, safety, and accountability of WMD and fissile material during transportation and storage through physical upgrades and training;

• Consolidating, monitoring, and securing biological agents and toxins and other pathogens of security concern that are 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 with the objective of reducing threats;

• 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.

Scope

Advisory and Assistance Services (A&AS) are required to support the implementation of Cooperative Threat Reduction programs and projects. The A&AS contractor shall provide the essential resources to the CTR Program to provide for effective management of CTR programs; fulfill Planning, Programming, Budgeting, and Execution (PPBE) requirements; comply with all Federal, Local, and Program policies, regulations and directives; and to satisfy external reporting and oversight requirements.

Supported Organizations The following organizations participate in CTR Program execution and may require support under this contract:

Director and Deputy Director The CT leaders are responsible for execution of CTR strategic vision, providing leadership, oversight, and direction related to program execution, and representing CT to the Congress, Department of Defense, other US government agencies, and leaders of partner countries.

Program Integration This division is responsible for the overall integration of CTR efforts including, but not limited to: strategic planning, logistics support, export compliance, overseas property management, audits, travel support, management of agreements/treaties, acquisition management support, training, human resources, information management, employee in-process sing, knowledge management, DTRO support, strategic workforce analysis, Threat Reduction Engagement Program, and organizational development.

DTRA J4-8C Acquisition, Finance, and Logistics Directorate This DTRA directorate is responsible for supporting CTR in its acquisition, finance, and logistics requirements. In particular, significant support is provided in the area of finance, budgeting, and reporting in support of the CTR Program.

Cooperative Biological Engagement Program This program supports the “National Strategy for Countering Biological Threats” (Presidential Policy Directive-2, signed by the President on November 23, 2009), which seeks to prevent terrorists or non-state actors from accessing biological material of security concern (hereafter referred to as “biological agents”) or expertise that could contribute to a biological weapons capability. It builds upon the indigenous capacities of regions and partner countries. CBEP’s mission is achieved through the integration of three key programmatic pillars: biological safety and security (BS&S); disease surveillance, detection, diagnosis, and reporting (DSDDR); and biological research that supports DSDDR.

Note: Organizationally, the Chemical Weapons Destruction Program, Global Nuclear Security Program, and Strategic Offensive Arms Elimination Program are managed under the Global Cooperative Security Office. Official program names remain unchanged.

Chemical Weapons Destruction Program This program is responsible for chemical weapons destruction and their associated infrastructure.

Global Nuclear Security Program The GNS Program consolidates ongoing efforts to secure nuclear weapons and materials in the FSU and new initiatives to secure nuclear materials across the globe in support of the President’s global nuclear lockdown initiative. This includes, but is not limited to: Spent Nuclear Fuel/Fissile Material Disposition, Nuclear Security Enhancements, Inventory Management, Security Assessment and Training Centers, Nuclear Weapons Transportation, Railcar Maintenance and Procurement, Fissile and Radioactive Material Proliferation Prevention, and Nuclear Security Centers of Excellence.

Strategic Offensive Arms Elimination Program The SOAE program supports destruction of strategic weapons delivery systems and associated infrastructure. DoD’s work through the CTR Program complements New Strategic Arms Reduction Treaty’s (New START) role in strategic offensive arms elimination. The CTR Program not only works toward complete arms elimination in accordance with Part Three of the New START Protocol, it also supports additional measures beyond the New START requirements to support shared nonproliferation objectives. The CTR Program provides equipment and services to destroy or dismantle ICBMs, ICBM silo launchers, road-mobile launchers, SLBMs, SLBM launchers, nuclear reactor cores of strategic SSBNs, and WMD infrastructure.

Proliferation Prevention Program The Proliferation Prevention Program (Building Partnerships Division J3BPP) is located within the DTRA J3BP Building Partner Capacity Department and funded under the CTR appropriation. The Proliferation Prevention Program addresses the vulnerability of partner countries to trafficking of WMD and related components. The Program assists countries to develop self-sustaining, multi-agency capabilities to prevent the proliferation of WMD materials, components, and technologies across their borders.

Defense Threat Reduction Offices and Cooperative Engagement Offices The DTROs/CEOs are forward elements of the DTRA, and the overseas personnel responsible for the execution of the CTR mission, as well as other DTRA missions. The DTRO and U.S. embassies directly coordinate CTR assistance issues with foreign government entities, U.S. collaborators, and CTR implementing contractors.

Threat Reduction Program Oversight Office within the Office of the Secretary of Defense (OSD) The Threat Reduction Program Oversight (TRPO) office exercises oversight of CTR programs. TRPO develops acquisition procedures and oversees their implementation to avoid organizational conflicts and overlapping duties, achieve strategic risk reduction, and minimize cost overruns and schedule delays. TRPO provides cooperative threat reduction strategic implementation guidance consistent with signed agreements and U.S. Government policies.

Cooperative Threat Reduction Policy Office (OSD/CTR Policy) This OSD office provides policy guidance for CTR programs. OSD/CTR Policy advocates for the CTR program within the US government and submits CTR funding requirements in the Planning, Programming, Budgeting, and Execution (PPBE) process. OSD/CTR Policy supports negotiations, agreements, and interagency coordination.

Threat Reduction Engagement Program (TREP) TREP is located within the DTRA J3BP Building Partner Capacity Department and funded under the CTR appropriation. TREP serves to support relationship building opportunities that can lead to CTR Program development in new geographic areas and achieve other CTR Program benefits. It is executed pursuant to a well-developed strategy for advancing the mission of the CTR Program. It is to be administered as part of the CTR Program and includes cooperation and coordination with the unified commands and related diplomatic efforts.
