Archer, Contracting Officer, (703) 325-5028 The primary objective of this effort is to assist the Russian Federation (RF) in the dismantlement and conversion of the former Khimprom Chemical Weapons Production Facility located at Volgograd, Russia. This is to be accomplished by supporting the RF efforts to develop a dismantlement plan for submission to the organization for the Prevention of Chemical Weapons (OPCW). The plan will include the following major activities, mobilization, site preparation, training, site survey, environmental activities and documentation, preparation of procedures and plans, preparation of dismantlement plans, and removal and destruction of specialized equipment and features. The Defense Special Weapons Agency (DSWA) plans to issue a sole source contract to the Volgograd Production Association Khimprom. DSWA believes that Khimprom is the only source able to perform this effort. Any other firm desiring consideration must fully identify its capability to perform the requirement. See Note 22 (substitute fifteen (15) days in lieu of forty-five (45) days). Acquisition Management has added "Procurement Opportunities" to the DSWA Home Page available on the World Wide Web.
