Parsons Wins First DTRA CTRIC IV Task Order for Southeast Asia Chemical Security

Highlights

• Parsons secured the first task order issued under the DTRA's CTRIC IV contract.
• The work will support chemical threat reduction efforts across Southeast Asia.
• Malaysia, Indonesia and the Philippines are among the partner nations identified for the program.
• Parsons will provide training courses, exercises and workshops focused on chemical security.
• The effort supports U.S. Pacific Command priorities for regional threat monitoring and response.

Strengthening chemical threat preparedness among regional partners is the focus of a new U.S. defense support effort in Southeast Asia. Parsons has secured the first task order under the Defense Threat Reduction Agency's Cooperative Threat Reduction Integration Contract IV, expanding its role in international threat-reduction programs.

Chemical Security Training Across Southeast Asia

Under the task order, Parsons will work with DTRA's Global Threat Reduction directorate to develop and deliver chemical security training for partner nations in Southeast Asia.

The program will include training courses, exercises and workshops intended to improve capabilities for preparing for, detecting and responding to chemical threats. Malaysia, Indonesia and the Philippines are among the countries identified for the work.

The initiative is also intended to strengthen partner-country capabilities to monitor and secure chemical materials of concern.

First CTRIC IV Task Order

The award represents the first task order issued through the CTRIC IV contract vehicle. The broader contract supports the U.S. government's Cooperative Threat Reduction mission, including efforts involving chemical, biological, radiological, nuclear and other weapons-related threats.

The Southeast Asia assignment supports priorities established by U.S. Pacific Command by strengthening regional capabilities for chemical threat monitoring and response. Parsons brings decades of experience supporting DTRA programs, according to the company's announcement.

Why It Matters

For government contractors and organizations involved in national security infrastructure, the task order demonstrates the role of training and technical support in strengthening partner-country threat response capabilities.

The work also establishes an early program opportunity under CTRIC IV, with Parsons supporting regional preparedness through training, exercises and operational expertise rather than a standalone equipment deployment.
