RESTON, Va. -- A subsidiary of Raytheon Company has been awarded a task order with a potential value of $82.1 million by the United States Defense Threat Reduction Agency (DTRA) to provide Mission Support in the former Soviet Union (FSU).

Through this six-year task order, which has a base year and five one-year options, Raytheon Technical Services Company LLC (RTSC) will provide comprehensive logistics integration support, including equipment support and services, program support services, infrastructure services, an enterprise information management system, and program management. Work will be performed in FSU countries, primarily in the Russian Federation.

This effort is part of the U.S. government's Cooperative Threat Reduction (CTR) Program that assists successor states of the FSU in reducing their stockpiles of weapons of mass destruction and the infrastructure supporting them. Work on the task order, under DTRA's IDIQ (indefinite delivery, indefinite quantity) CTR Integrating Contracts (CTRIC) Program, is expected to be completed by July 2011.

"Since 1994 Raytheon has provided Mission Support to cooperative threat reduction projects involving logistics, transportation, storage, dismantling, safeguarding and destroying weapons of mass destruction in the FSU," said Dan Schultz, RTSC vice president and general manager of one of RTSC's Reston, Va.- based business units. "RTSC is proud of its historic CTR performance, and we look forward to continuing our successful partnership with DTRA to prevent the spread of nuclear, chemical and biological weapons of mass destruction to make the world a safer place."
