Description

The Defense Threat Reduction Agency (DTRA) is seeking competent performers in meeting the requirement to provide assistance to the Russian Ministry of Defense (MOD) for the movement of sensitive assets by train to support dismantlement and consolidation efforts under the Cooperative Threat Reduction (CTR) Program. The use of "Facilitating Agents" will be required to review MOD transportation plans, verify transportation costs and documentation, monitor the actual movement, and submit movement confirmation reports for a level of effort of about four train shipments per month. The use of a "Forwarding Agent" will be necessary to reimburse the costs and expenses for the movement following the confirmation of the completed movement. The Forwarding Agent designated by MOD coordinates and pre-pays the Russian Federation Railway Ministry (MPS) for the rail movements. The procurement for this effort will be structured and executed as a five-year contract, consisting of one base year and four one-year options. Exercising option years will be contingent upon program compliance and annual identification and validation of MOD's need for continued assistance for controlled materials transportation.
