1 INTRODUCTION

1.1 Scope

The scope of this requirement is the procurement of Visit, Board, Search, and Seizure (VBSS) equipment as required under Foreign Military Sales Letter of Offer and Acceptance (LOA) Case Number GB-P-BAB for the country of Gabon. Packaging, packing, preservations, and markings in preparation for Defense Transportation System (DTS) pick up shall be required.

1.2 Background

The FMS program is part of security assistance authorized by the Arms Export Control Act (AECA). It is a fundamental United States (U.S.) foreign policy tool. Under § 3 of the AECA (classified to 22 U.S.C. § 2753), the U.S. may sell defense articles and services to foreign countries and international organizations when the president formally finds that to do so will strengthen the security of the U.S. and promote world peace. This program is conducted through formal agreements between the U.S. Government (USG) and an authorized foreign purchaser. These agreements are called U.S. LOA.

Provision of these items will help the maritime safety and security services maintain and expand capacity to protect territorial waters, enhance maritime domain awareness, and build interoperable regional maritime security between other regional partners and the USG.
