Mission Support - WMD Threat Reduction Consultation Services

MISSION SUPPORT – WMD THREAT REDUCTION CONSULTING SERVICES Statement of Work May 2026 I. Background The U.S. Department of State (DOS), Bureau of Arms Control and Nonproliferation (ACN) and Disarmament Fund (NDF) is responsible for managing a broad range of U.S. proliferation threat reduction projects. NDF supports efforts to prevent or otherwise inhibit the spread of nuclear, biological, chemical, or radiological weapons of mass destruction (WMD), their delivery systems, and conventional weapons. It does this through the development, execution, and implementation of carefully selected projects with nonproliferation, disarmament and/or arms control objectives. When a potential host country provides the opportunity for the United States to help them remove, destroy, or otherwise disable dangerous weapons systems or associated infrastructure, it is important to be able to respond promptly. Therefore, it is imperative for the NDF to have the capability to support such efforts with flexibility, agility and rapid response to meet NDF’s mission requirements. ACN/NDF occasionally learns of certain sites where (WMD), heavy conventional munitions or other dangerous materials are stored and often these sites have inadequate measures in place to ensure their security. In such instances, ACN/NDF takes necessary steps to upgrade security at sites that are vulnerable to non-state actor(s) or proliferation activities. Given the current geopolitical climate, the need to secure these sites adequately is of the utmost urgency to U.S. national security and interests abroad. II.
