DTRA DOCUSERIES

1.0 Background & Objective

The Defense Threat Reduction Agency (DTRA) executes a critical, global mission as the Department of Defense’s official Combat Support Agency for countering Weapons of Mass Destruction (WMD) and emerging asymmetric threats. The purpose, capabilities, complexity, sensitivity, and success of DTRA’s mission are often not known to other Combatant Commands, other United States Government (USG) stakeholders or partners. Specifically, DTRA requires a cohesive communication suite that articulates its technical capabilities to Combatant Commanders, DoD leadership, and key interagency partners to facilitate operational integration or coordination. The target audience includes both technical operators requiring detailed capabilities awareness and USG stakeholders requiring high-level mission understanding. As a result, DTRA needs the contractor to script, direct, shoot, edit, and produce a broadcastquality, feature-length five (5) part documentary series and a one additional single, 15–30-minute documentary. The series will bypass retrospective institutional history to focus squarely on cutting-edge operational capabilities, technical programs, deterrence frameworks, and global combat support missions.

2.0 Scope of Work

The contractor shall provide all personnel, equipment, hardware, software, materials, travel management, and security infrastructure necessary to deliver both the 5-part episodic series and the standalone 15–30-minute film. DTRA will provide site access to cleared contractor personnel.
