BACKGROUND: The US Army Chemical Materials Activity Recovered Chemical Materiel Directorate (CMA-RCMD) provides centralized management and direction to the Department of Defense (DOD) for the assessment and disposal of recovered chemical warfare materiel (RCWM), and other chemical disposal missions, in a safe, environmentally sound, and cost-effective manner. RCMD is comprised of the following support functions: 1) Archive Research, 2) Programmatic Activities, 3) Assessment of Munitions and Certain Material of Interest and Destruction of RCWM and CAIS, 4) Sustainment of Personnel, 5) Maintenance of Equipment, 6) Support to Combatant Commanders and Others, 7) Research, Development, Test and Evaluation (RDT&E) and 8) Procurement. The recovered chemical materiel assessment and disposal functions are enduring DOD / Army mission areas which are projected to last many decades into the future. A variety of equipment and facility assets as well as operational, management, and maintenance skills have been accumulated by the U.S. Army and its performers in support of accomplishing the RCMD mission areas through the combination of in-house, other government agency (OGA), and contractor skill sets and resources. RCMD is nominally funded to support 18 assessment responses per year, and 2 destruction operations per year. This contract will provide RCMD with program management, mission, and operational planning support to supplement the capabilities of the RCMD in-house staff. The RCMD organic Government staff include the project engineers who require integrated contractual support across inter-related projects as delineated below.
