The anticipated award will include a 1-year basic contract with 4, 1-year option periods. Services are planned to include continuous monitoring (CM) at Chemical Weapons (CW) Destruction Facilities (CWDF) and short-notice/short-term inspections at various CW storage, production, and other related facilities. Continuous monitoring support is expected to be required at the following CWDF sites: Tooele Army Depot, Utah; Johnston Island (JI); Hawthorne Army Depot, Nevada; Dugway Proving Ground, Utah; Umatilla Army Depot, Oregon; Anniston Army Depot, Alabama; Pine Bluff Army Depot, Arkansas; and Pueblo Army Depot, Colorado.

Short-term/short-notice inspections are expected to be required during each of the FY periods noted above. The Contractor is expected to provide the necessary personnel at each of the continuous monitoring locations with the personnel (excluding JI) normally based within the local commuting area of the monitoring site. The short-term/short-notice inspectors will be based in the Washington, DC commuting area and must be available for deployment upon short notice. Applicable travel costs for short-term inspections will be borne by the Government. Current planning for JI calls for the Escorts to work on a rotation basis with 6-weeks on-island and 2-weeks off. At the time of award, the Contractor shall provide fully trained and qualified personnel or make the personnel immediately available for Government training. All escort personnel must have had or will receive, treaty specific, CW Inspector training. Training costs for untrained personnel will be paid by the Government. CW Escort Services at Tooele, JI, Umatilla, Anniston, Pine Bluff, and Pueblo are expected to be needed 24-hours/day, 365/366 days/yr during the specified periods of performance. Hawthorne and Dugway, due to reduced work-week schedules, will require service to a lesser degree. Each escort must pass a Category B physical and continue under the Category B medical screening as specified by the Government. Each escort must comply with all blood testing and sampling requirements. Treaty specific equipment and vehicles will be provided by the Government. The Contractor shall either possess or be eligible to receive a SECRET security clearance from the Defense Investigative Service.
