Don’t miss this multi-million dollar opportunity! On December 6th, the Defense Threat Reduction Agency (DTRA) released a draft Request for Proposal (RFP) for the third iteration of the Cooperative Threat Reduction Integrating Contract (CTRIC III). CTRIC III is a combination of CTRIC II and another DTRA program called BTRIC, Biological Threat Reduction Integration Contracts.
The contract is a multiple-award Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ), intended to counter global weapons of mass destruction (WMD) threats by working with partner countries to:
- Strengthen infrastructure
- Provide training and mentorship
- And perform collaborative research.

The NAICS code for the opportunity is 541990: All Other Professional, Scientific, and Technical Services. The normal small business size standard for this NAICS code does not apply to this solicitation; for CTRIC II, the size standard is $15M. The contract will start in 2017 and has a five-year base, with one three-year extension. It is worth $980 million. The final RFP will be released in 2017. The Cooperative Threat Reduction program began 25 years ago, as a small agency focused on mitigating nuclear threats in the former Soviet Union. Since those days, the program has expanded to include threat mitigation in everything from chemical weapons to Ebola. Today, contractors under CTRIC III will be responsible for implementing task orders like logistics, training and infrastructure in areas including North Africa, Ukraine, Southeast Asia, and West Africa. The DTRA held one CTRIC III Industry Day in June, and will hold a second Industry Day on the 13th and 14th of December. The day will include open discussions about small business participation. Twelve companies signed up for one-on-one meeting slots.
The incumbent contractors from CTRIC II are:
- Bechtel National, Inc.
- Parsons Global Services, Inc.
- Raytheon Technical Services Co. LLC.
- URS Federal Services International, Inc. (AECOM)
