Under the 10-year contract, the selected companies will compete for task orders to provide a broad range of services and products to deliver sustainable chemical, biological, radiological and nuclear threat reduction capabilities to partner nations, the Department of Defense said Friday. Each task order may have a performance period of up to five years, which can be extended to up to three years. Work will be performed at various locations worldwide.
The CTR Program, originally known as the Nunn-Lugar program, was established in 1991 to prevent the proliferation of weapons of mass destruction by working with former Soviet states. Its initial goals were to help the countries safely dismantle nuclear, chemical and biological weapons; secure them from falling into the wrong hands; and prevent the diversion of WMD-related expertise.
While initially focused on post-Soviet WMD, the CTR program’s objectives and scope have evolved to address contemporary threats by expanding partnerships and redesigning its strategies to include new regions and partners, according to the National Academies of Sciences. Under the program, the United States collaborates with willing countries to reduce the threat from WMD and those from related materials, technologies, facilities and expertise.
