A description of the requirement follows: The Defense Threat Reduction Agency (DTRA) seeks potential sources capable of providing treaty escort/ transportation services and housing support for the Chemical Weapons Convention (CWC) international inspectors and their U.S. Government escorts during their extended stays for treaty inspections at eight chemical agent disposal facility (CDF) locations within the continental U.S. The treaty escort/ transportation services primarily include the furnishing of full-time qualified arms control treaty escorts, drivers and vehicle(s). To be qualified escorts and drivers, contractor personnel must possess a SECRET security clearance, pass an occupational health exam, submit to blood and urine tests, and complete US Government chemical weapons demilitarization, treaty orientation and safety courses, in addition to possessing valid state licenses. Vehicles consist of a van and possibly up t o 5 additional vehicles at each of the eight CDF locations. The housing support primarily includes providing approximately 8 to 19 hotel-like lodging rooms in a low crime area that is within commuting distance of each of the eight CDF locations and near appropriate amenities and conveniences (restaurants, laundry & dry cleaning services, etc.). It also includes office space near the rooms for the lodging driver. The rooms are for lodging a continual succession of treaty inspectors and escorts, each staying approximately 3-6 weeks. Inherent in performing these services, the contractor would conduct program management consisting of planning, establishing, managing and monitoring the transportation services and the housing support at eight CDF locations throughout the performance perio ds, to ens ure quality support. The CDF Locations, Projected Start, and Projected End are as follows: Tooele, UT: Ongoing -- Mar 2008;Anniston, AL: Sep 2002 -- Sep 2011; Umatilla, OR: Feb 2003 -- Apr 2011; Pine Bluff, AR: Apr 2004 --Apr 2011; Newport, IN: Jul 2003 - - Dec 2004; Aberdeen, MD: Mar 2003 -- Sep 2004; Pueblo, CO: Oct 2008 -- NLT Apr 2012; and Blue Grass, KY: Oct 2009 -- NLT Apr 2012. Prior to initiation, the start dates are subject to frequent and often substantial changes. Likewise, the end dates are sub ject to change based on the progress made in destroying chemical weapons at each location. Normally, these changes have been slippage into the future. DTRA's intent is to award a single Indefinite Delivery Indefinite Quantity contract with an ordering period of approximately ten (10) years. The orders will be placed either on a firm fixed price, cost plus fixed fee, cost plus award fee, or time and mate rial basis. The total contract value is estimated to be $55 million. The estimated total cost for the escort services is $24 million and for the housing is $27 million.
