Parsons Corporation announced that the company was awarded a position on an indefinite-delivery, indefinite-quantity (IDIQ) multiple award task order contract (MATOC) by the Defense Threat Reduction Agency (DTRA) to support Countering Weapons Of Mass Destruction (CWMD) objectives. The $4 billion ceiling value contract includes a five-year base period and one five-year option period and is new work for the company. Under this contract, Parsons will compete for task orders to perform research, development, testing and evaluation, procurement, maintenance, and systems engineering to deliver scientific and technological solutions meeting the Department of Defense's priority CWMD objectives.
This IDIQ MATOC continues Parsons' decades-long support of DTRA, which includes global projects addressing the destruction of chemical weapons and strategic offensive arms, nuclear security, mission assurance, and non-prol proliferation of weapons of mass destruction. In 2023, the company announced two task order awards under DTRA's Assessment, Exercise, Modeling and Simulation, and Support (AEMSS) IDIQ MATOC. One task order will develop solutions improving partner nation capacity to prevent proliferation attempts, and the other will provide vulnerability assessments, technical support projects, design reviews, and analyses.
DTRA provides cross-cutting solutions to enable the Department of Defense, the United States Government, and international partners to deter strategic attacks against the United States and its allies; prevent, reduce, and counter weapons of mass destruction (WMD) and emerging threats; and prevail against WMD-armed adversaries in crisis and conflict.
