Raytheon awarded Moldova border security contract
Raytheon will provide border security solutions to the Republic of Moldova under a new contract from the Defense Threat Reduction Agency (DTRA) worth up to $12.9 million. The 18 month base contract award is $6.3 million with options for an additional $6.6 million.
The contract will see Raytheon supply solutions to help prevent the movement of Weapons of Mass Destruction (WMD) and related materials across Moldova's borders. This will involve a real-time electro-optical/infrared surveillance (EO/IR) system that Raytheon will implement and test along high priority border areas.
The company will also provide training and sustainment and ultimately transition all capabilities to the government of Moldova.
David Appel, director of defense and federal solutions, Raytheon, said: ‘Raytheon is now performing border security in Eastern Europe, the Middle East and in Southeast Asia, which helps DTRA make the world more secure. This win further validates our proven approach to designing and implementing effective border security solutions that support threat reduction with predictable cost, schedule and technical performance.’
This task order has been awarded under the Cooperative Threat Reduction Integrating Contract II (CTRIC II). Awarded in April 2011, CTRIC II is a multiple award indefinite delivery, indefinite quantity contract with a ceiling value of $950 million that supports the DTRA Cooperative Threat Reduction (CTR) programme.
Raytheon has supported the programme - which works to prevent the proliferation of WMD and related materials, technologies and expertise from former Soviet Union states – since 1994.
