STATEMENT OF OBJECTIVES

Title: Masters Degree in WMD Studies

1.0 Background

1.1 Weapons of Mass Destruction (WMD) pose a complex national security problem and require effective interagency efforts by well informed and prepared national security professionals.

1.2 The Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Instruction (CJCSI) 1800.01C, and the 3 December 2008 Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) between the Joint Requirements office for Chemical, Biological, Radiological, and Nuclear Defense (JRO-CBRND) and the National Defense University Center for the Study of Weapons of Mass Destruction (WMD Center) designate the WMD Center as the joint professional military education (JPME) focal point for WMD education. The JRO-CBRND/WMD Center MOA also amplifies and supports the WMD Center mission to pursue “a broad range of WMD education and outreach initiatives…dedicated to educating the next generation of military and civilian leaders on the WMD threat as it relates to defense and homeland security policy, programs, technology and operations.”

1.3. In keeping with these mandates and in order to prepare both uniformed and civilian personnel serving the Department of Defense (DoD) for long-term service with the USG in fields related to WMD and threat reduction, the DASD (CBD) has directed the WMD Center to develop a masters degree program in WMD Studies to prepare early career and mid-career individuals for long- term service with the USG in fields related to WMD and threat reduction. This masters degree program will help build a trained and educated professional force within the USG to deal with WMD-related issues and to provide policy advice to senior officials.

1.4 Accordingly, the WMD Center seeks to partner with an established, recognized, accredited university to develop the master’s degree program. The partnership would leverage the unique capabilities of the WMD Center and the academic atmosphere of the civilian university to create the masters degree program, with the civilian university granting the actual degree upon a student’s completion of the requisite academic requirements.

Program Objectives:

2.1 The program’s objective is to provide current and future USG workforce members with requisite graduate education to become highly qualified in matters related to WMD and threat reduction, with special emphasis on policy and managerial issues. The program will result in selected uniformed and civilian personnel receiving a Master of Science Degree in WMD Studies.

2.2 The program will focus its student recruiting efforts on DoD entities with one or more of the following populations requiring masters degree-level education in WMD Studies and willing to commit to service in a WMD-related capacity in DoD:

2.2.1 DoD employees;

2.2.2 active-duty military personnel;

2.3 Contract Objective: Partner with a civilian university, on the basis of an indefinite duration/indefinite quantity contract, to execute a Master of Science Degree program in WMD Studies. The program will provide current and future USG workforce members with a path to become highly qualified in matters related to WMD and threat reduction, with special emphasis on policy and managerial issues. The master’s degree program will be a joint effort between the WMD Center and an established, recognized, accredited university to produce a masters-level program, with the Masters Degree to be awarded by the partner university.

2.3.1 The program will consist of 36 semester hours (or equivalent quarter hours) of graduate-level work that can include a mixture of the following:

2.3.1.1 Mandatory 30 semester hours (or equivalent quarter hours) of course work provided by the contracting partner university

2.3.1.2 Mandatory 3 semester hours (or equivalent quarter hours) of thesis credit. The topic of the thesis will be approved jointly by the WMD Center and the contracting partner university. NDU reserves the right to waive the thesis requirement and replace it with an oral examination if unusual circumstances warrant.

2.3.1.3 Three semester hours (or equivalent quarter hours) of credit for satisfactory completion, as deemed by the WMD Center, of a WMD colloquium sponsored by the WMD Center. The WMD Center may, at its discretion, grant constructive colloquium credit for participation in programs such as the WMD Center Program for Emerging Leaders or for other NDU course work, etc.

2.3.1.4 Up to 6 semester hours (or equivalent quarter hours) of credit for an internship approved jointly by the WMD Center and the partner university. Such hours as the WMD Center and the contracting partner university jointly elect to award for an internship will be subtracted from the 30 semester-hour total in 2.3.1.1.

2.3.2 The program will contain all of the following additional characteristics:

2.3.2.1 Proximity. The program must be physically available to DoD uniformed and civilian personnel currently located in the Washington, D.C. metropolitan area. Online classes are allowed, however the majority of the program must take place in-resident at the university.

2.3.2.2 Availability. The program must be available in its entirety after regular business hours, i.e., in the evenings or on weekends.

2.3.2.3 Durability. The program’s history must demonstrate that its sponsoring university has made a long-term commitment to maintaining the program.

2.3.2.4 Completability. The program must be completable in two years or less. Accordingly, the courses required for the program must be regularly available, with critical courses being taught every, or almost every, semester to facilitate course scheduling.

2.3.2.5 Rigor. The program must include a substantial research component.

2.3.2.6 Distinction. The program must include regular faculty who are not only distinguished for their academic attainments and contributions but, equally importantly, by their having served in high-level government positions directly associated with WMD.

2.3.2.7 Comprehensiveness. The program must substantively address all three pillars of the U.S. National Strategy for Countering WMD and all eight DoD mission areas relative to WMD for nuclear, chemical, and biological weapons.

2.3.2.8 Cooperation. The sponsoring institution must be willing to undertake the degree program cooperatively with NDU by accepting NDU credit and awarding credit for a WMD Center-sponsored colloquium.

2.3.2 The proposed curriculum will consist of coursework developed jointly by the WMD Center and the partner university or developed by the partner university and approved by the WMD Center.

The curriculum will conform to the degree-granting requirements of the degree-awarding institution.

2.3.1 The curriculum will include substantive course content in the following areas (this is not meant to be an exhaustive list) as it pertains to nuclear weapons and chemical/biological weapons:

2.3.3.1. The international security environment, strategic culture, and emerging strategic issues

2.3.3.2 The instruments of state power

2.3.3.3 Policy formulation, with special emphasis on U.S. policy

2.3.3.4 The theoretical and practical aspects of arms control

2.3.3.5 Nonproliferation, counterproliferation, and consequence management

2.3.3.6 International and non-state terrorism

2.3.3.7 Deterrence

2.3.3.8 Security cooperation and partnership activities and threat reduction cooperation

2.3.3.9 Warfighting strategies

2.3.3.10 The nexus with science and technology

2.3.3.11 The nexus with missile defense and similar issues

2.3.3.12 Topics not listed above will be determined acceptable by NDU

2.3.2 In addition to regular coursework, which students will take at a designated campus of the partner university, students will also satisfactorily complete a WMD colloquium conducted by the WMD Center at a location or locations designated by the WMD Center

2.3.3 The partner university will matriculate up to 24 students annually under the auspices of this program.

3.0 Security Classification: All partner university courses will be taught at the unclassified level.

4.0 Deliverables, to be delivered in hardcopy and electronically:

4.1 Semester (or quarterly) progress and cost reports for each student to include at a minimum: the grade awarded for each class registered for; based on current progress if the student will graduate within two years of matriculation; the costs billed to the Government for that student. A separate report for any other charges billed to the Government in connection with the IDIQ. The reports will be due 30 days after the last day of class for each semester (quarter).

ORGANIZATIONAL CONFLICT OF INTEREST (OCI)

a. Purpose: The primary purpose of this clause is to aid in ensuring that:

(1) the Contractor’s objectivity and judgment are not biased because of its present, or currently planned interests (financial, contractual, organizational, or otherwise) which relate to work under this contract;

(2) the Contractor does not obtain an unfair competitive advantage by virtue of its access to non-public Government information regarding the Government’s program plans and actual or anticipated resources;

and

(3) the Contractor does not obtain any unfair competitive advantage by virtue of its access to proprietary information belonging to others.

b. Scope: The restrictions described herein shall apply to performance or participation by the Contractor and any of its affiliates or their successors in interest (hereinafter collectively referred to as “Contractor”) in the activities covered by this clause as prime contractor, subcontractor, co-sponsor, joint venture, consultant, or in any similar capacity. The term “proprietary information” for the purposes of this clause is any information considered to be so valuable by its owner that it is held in secret by them and their licensees. Information furnished voluntarily by the owner without limitations on its use, or which is available without restrictions from other sources, is not considered proprietary.

(1) Access To and Use of Government Information: If the Contractor, in the performance of this contract, obtains access to information such as plans, policies, reports, studies, financial plans, or data which has not been released or otherwise made available to the public, the Contractor agrees that without prior written approval of the Contracting Officer, it shall not: (a) use such information for any private purpose unless the information has been lawfully released or otherwise made available to the public, (b) compete for work based on such information after the completion of this contract, (c) submit an unsolicited proposal to the Government which is based on such information after such information is released, or (d) release such information unless such information has previously been lawfully released or otherwise made available to the public by the Government.

(2) Access To and Protection of Propriety Information: The Contractor agrees that, to the extent it receives or is given access to proprietary data, trade secrets, or other confidential or privileged technical, business, or financial information (hereinafter referred to as “proprietary data”) under this contract, it shall treat such information in accordance with any restrictions imposed on such information. The Contractor further agrees to enter into a written agreement for the protection of the proprietary data of others and to exercise diligent effort to protect such proprietary data from unauthorized use or disclosure. In addition, the Contractor shall obtain from each employee who has access to proprietary data under this contract, a written agreement which shall in substance provide that such employee shall not, during his/her employment by the Contractor or thereafter, disclose to others or use for their benefit, proprietary data received in connection with the work under this contract. The Contractor will educate its employees regarding the philosophy of Part 9.505-4 of the Federal Acquisition Regulation so that they will not use or disclose proprietary information or data generated or acquired in the performance of this contract except as provided herein.

c. Subcontracts: The Contractor shall include this or substantially the same clause, including this paragraph, in consulting agreements and subcontracts of all tiers. The terms “Contract”, “Contractor”, and “Contracting Officer”, will be appropriately modified to preserve the Government’s rights.

d. Disclosures: If the Contractor discovers an organizational conflict of interest or potential conflict of interest after award, a prompt and full disclosure shall be made in writing to the Contracting Officer. This disclosure shall be made on the OCI Analysis/ Disclosure Form provided as an Attachment to this contract, and shall include a description of the action the Contractor has taken or proposes to take in order to avoid or mitigate such conflicts.

e. Remedies and Waiver:

(1) For breach of any of the above restrictions or for non-disclosure or misrepresentation of any relevant facts required to be disclosed concerning this contract, the Government may terminate this contract for default, disqualify the Contractor for subsequent related contractual efforts, and pursue such other remedies as may be permitted by law or the contract. If, however, in compliance with this clause, the Contractor discovers and promptly reports an organizational conflict of interest (or the potential thereof) subsequent to contract award, the Contracting Officer may terminate this contract for the convenience of the Government if such termination is deemed to be in the best interest of the Government.

Modifications: Prior to contract modification, when the Scope Of Work is changed to add new work or the period of performance is significantly increased, the Contracting Officer may require the Contractor to submit either an organizational conflict of interest disclosure or an update of the previously submitted disclosure or representation.
