Countering U.S. Adversary WMD and Drone Threats in Iraq

The contract aims to enhance Iraq’s capacity to counter threats posed by Iranian-backed proxies and terrorist groups, particularly focusing on disrupting their access to unmanned aerial systems and weapons of mass destruction, including chemical and biological weapons. Through direct support to Iraqi military, law enforcement, and scientific laboratories, the program strengthens Iraq’s ability to detect, respond to, and mitigate these threats, aligning with National Security Presidential Memorandum 2. This initiative is designed to protect U.S. personnel and strategic interests in Iraq and the broader region by reducing the operational capabilities of adversarial networks reliant on such technologies. The program is administered by the Department of State's Arms Control and Nonproliferation - Cooperative Threat Reduction office and falls under the NAICS code 541690, indicating it involves other scientific and technical consulting services. Activities span multiple locations across Iraq, with no specific city designated as the sole place of performance. Ryan Taugher serves as the primary point of contact for inquiries, while Tyler Sinclair is designated as the Small Business Specialist to support engagement with small businesses. The contract is listed as a fiscal year 2026 procurement forecast, signaling planning and preparation for future funding and execution without a finalized solicitation at this time.
