  DSCA requires programmatic support services for Security Cooperation (SC) programs of high national priority to intensively manage these programs. Historically, this has been performed by five (5) contractors in support of the following Country Program Directors: Afghanistan, Egypt, Iraq, Lebanon, and Pakistan (for information only). The current staff of contractors may/may not be required.  DSCA requires the flexibility to increase/decrease the number of contractors without penalty throughout the life of the contract.  

Contractors will assist in developing, promulgating, and monitoring policies, procedures, and special projects required ensuring that the Security Assistance Program for assigned countries operates in an effective and responsive manner.

      The objective is to secure qualified professionals to provide experienced FMS expertise to the Country Program Directors (CPDs) in their oversight of the U.S. Government's (USG) SC programs.  Services include, but not limited to providing programmatic and administrative support; assisting in coordinating and facilitating information; fostering interdepartmental relationships; assisting with researching; analyzing data; and developing response packages to fulfill reporting requirements. These positions also require extensive experience in managing and tracking pseudo-FMS cases from requirements definition described in Letters of Request through delivery of material in country.  The tracking of these cases requires intensive management over and above that typically required of typical FMS country programs and a solid understanding of logistics, financial management and transportation are prerequisites of the position.
