Enforcing Sanctions on China and Russia

The contract seeks to deploy subject matter experts in targeting complex sanctions evasion networks linked to China and Russia, with a focus on jurisdictions most vulnerable to illicit financial and technological flows. China has emerged as the principal provider of critical components enabling Russia’s continued production of advanced conventional weapons, undermining international nonproliferation efforts. The initiative aims to equip public and private sector stakeholders with actionable intelligence, training, and tools to identify and disrupt these networks, particularly in regions where governments maintain diplomatic ties with Beijing and Moscow despite global sanctions regimes. Engagement strategies prioritize entities with the capacity and incentive to reduce reliance on Chinese investments, leveraging their influence to drive broader systemic change across sectors and supply chains. The program relies on real-time trade data analytics to track, map, and adapt to evolving sanctions evasion tactics, ensuring responses remain effective against shifting operational methods. Work will be conducted across multiple international locations, reflecting the global scope of the evasion networks under investigation. The task falls under the Arms Control and Nonproliferation - Cooperative Threat Reduction initiative within the Department of State, classified under NAICS code 541690 for other scientific and technical consulting services. Ryan Taugher is the point of contact for inquiries, with additional support available through Tyler Sinclair for small business engagement opportunities.
