J -- SS-24 MISSILE DISASSEMBLY IN UKRAINE SOL AIC 2672 DUE 010499 POC David Staudt (703) 810-4615 Contract Specialist, Edward Archer (703) 326-8506 Contracting Officer WEB: "Click here to access the DTRA Current Solicitations, http://www.dswa.mil/dswaproc/curproc.htm. E-MAIL: "Click here to contact the contract specialist via, david.staudt@dtra.mil. The Defense Threat Reduction (DTRA) has a requirement to procure services for Ukraine as specified in agreements between the Department of Defense of the United States of America and the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine concerning the provision of material, services and related training in connection with the elimination of Strategic Nuclear Arms Elimination, dated 5 December 1993. These services are required to assist Ukraine in dismantling its weapons of mass destruction and will consist of tasks associated with the dismantlement of seven (7) SS-24 missiles. The contractor will tag and track the missile components as directed under SALT II Treaty. The contractor will transport the missile stages and accountable components for further storage and processing. DTRA believes that Morrison Knudsen Corporation, the incumbent contractor performing Integrated ICBM Storage in Ukraine under DTRA contract DSWA01-97-C-0199, is the only responsible source having the resources and experience to accomplish this work within the required timelines. Morrison Knudsen has performed similar services under their current contract, is on site, and has worked with the Ukrainian officials with whom these activities will have to be coordinated. Given the required schedule, it would not be possible for another contractor to deploy a team to the site, arrange for labor and materials, integrate with ongoing efforts, develop the necessary relationships and complete the project in the available time to permit uninterrupted continuation of the overall SS-24 dismantlement effort. DSWA intends to enter into a new contract with Morrison Knudsen for this effort. Any firm desiring consideration must fully identify their capability to perform this effort. See Note 22 (substitute 30-day proposal receipt period in lieu of 45-day period). Information on DTRA solicitations already released can be obtained on the DTRA Homepage at http://www.dtra.mil.
