Strategic Arms Reduction Treaty (START) Support Services

Strategic Systems Programs of the Department of Defense awarded a sole source contract to ATK Launch Systems, Inc. for the provision of supplies and services necessary to support the planning and implementation of the Strategic Arms Reduction Treaty. The contract was awarded on a sole source basis under the statutory authority of 10 U.S.C. 2304(c)(1) because the ATK facilities in Tekoi and Magna are designated treaty sites, making ATK the only viable source capable of satisfying the government's requirements. The total estimated value of the contract is 12,188,134 dollars. The initial period of performance began on October 1, 2009, and ran through December 5, 2010, with the inclusion of four one-year option periods extending the potential performance window through December 5, 2014. This effort is categorized under NAICS code 541330 and was managed by the Strategic Systems Programs office located at the Washington Navy Yard.
