Countering Iran and DPRK’s WMD, Nuclear, Ballistic Missile, and Drone Proliferation

The Counterproliferation and Sanctions Enforcement program aims to enforce U.S. and international sanctions against Iran and the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea by building global capacity to detect, disrupt, and prevent evasion activities that facilitate the acquisition of sensitive technologies for weapons of mass destruction, ballistic missiles, drones, and nuclear programs. It focuses on strengthening maritime security, enhancing cybersecurity, and reinforcing global sanctions regimes to cut off revenue streams vital to these nations’ proliferation efforts, thereby safeguarding U.S. national security interests and protecting American supply chains, corporate investments, and access to international markets. The initiative is managed by the Department of State’s Arms Control and Nonproliferation Cooperative Threat Reduction office under NAICS code 541690, with performance expected across multiple global locations. It is designed as a forecasted procurement with no specified set-aside, and inquiries can be directed to Ryan Taugher at taugherrc@state.gov, while small business support is available through Tyler Sinclair at smallbusiness@state.gov. The program supports broader strategic objectives under NSPM-2 by enabling partner governments and private sector stakeholders to counter illicit networks and technology transfers that threaten regional and global stability.
