Submission Deadline
Friday, October 24 2025
Summary
CRDF Global is seeking two to three subject matter experts (SMEs) for a team of instructors for a one-day, in-person
activity in Helsinki, Finland, scheduled mid February 2026. The primary objective of this activity is to strengthen the
capability of European industry actors and regulatory authorities to detect and prevent sanctions evasion and the illicit
diversion of defense-relevant materials by proliferator states and their proxies. Through an interactive training that
includes case studies and exposure to advanced technological tools for compliance and risk assessment, participants will
learn how malign actors circumvent sanctions and exploit global supply chain and financial networks. This program will
foster improved Know Your Customer and Customer’s Customer (KYC/KYCC) and enhanced due-diligence practices,
strengthen reporting mechanisms, and enhance regional efforts to mitigate the diversion of critical defense materials.
Scope
CRDF Global will partner with expert trainers (hereafter referred to as “Contractor”) to deliver a one-day, in-person
regional training. The Contractor will be responsible for developing and tailoring all training materials in coordination
with CRDF Global, delivering technical and strategic content aligned with the project’s objectives to strengthen European
industry and regulatory authorities’ ability to detect and prevent sanctions evasion and illicit diversion of defense-
relevant materials by proliferator states, and leading participant engagement throughout the workshop. This includes
participation in planning calls with CRDF Global (as requested), facilitation of all assigned sessions, and provision of
follow-up recommendations or lessons learned.
