The Defense Special Weapons Agency (DSWA) plans to exercise Option II under Contract Number DNA001-94-C-0048 for the Defense Conversion Resident Advisor Program. This effort will continue to provide assistance to the former Soviet Union as part of the Cooperative Threat Reduction Program. International Executive Service Corporation (IESC) has provided support under this contract. The purpose of the effort is to provide resident advisors for on site assessment to defense enterprises seeking to convert to commercial production; identifying priority defense conversion opportunities; developing long term strategies to prepare Russian, Ukrainian, Kazakhstani, and Belarussian companies for partnership with U.S. companies. DSWA believes that IESC is the only responsible source that has the infrastructure and network of personnel in place to cost effectively conduct the continuing effort in the time required.
