Description: In accordance with FAR Part 10, DTRA is conducting market research to identify interested vendors capable of performing A&AS Services to support DTRA J2/5/8R and the SJFHQ-E. DTRA safeguards America and its allies from weapons of mass destruction (WMD) including Chemical, Biological, Radiological, Nuclear and high yield Explosives (CBRNE), by providing capabilities to reduce, eliminate, and counter the threat and mitigate its consequences. In order to adapt and shape the dynamic Global Security Environment, DTRA develops new, and continues to expand existing, bilateral and multilateral engagements, supports the cooperative elimination of WMD threat abroad, improves the security and accountability of vulnerable nuclear, biological, and chemical material globally, continues to strengthen interagency and international partnerships, and continues to improve strategic global situational awareness to respond to emerging threats. Additionally, DTRA provides counter WMD capabilities to meet current threats and challenges by enhancing Combatant Commanders' ability to eliminate and respond to WMD threats and vulnerabilities, to provide operational and technical support for a safe, secure, and effective nuclear deterrent, to develop a robust reachback capability to facilitate United States Government counter WMD operations, and to develop analytical tools and technologies to detect, characterize, confront, defeat, protect against and remediate the full spectrum of CBRNE threats. The organization's Joint Directorate of Strategy, Plans and Resources (J2/5/8R) implements this critical responsibility by planning, integrating, synchronizing, and executing Department of Defense-wide efforts to counter the threat posed by WMD.
