Things to watch
From the version posted Oct 15, 2026.
- Serious: Only qualified sources can receive award. A business that has not been approved for this part must complete qualification first, which can take time and cost money.
- Worth checking: Items go to foreign military sales customers. Every line item is marked for FMS countries, so shipping and paperwork for foreign delivery may apply.
- Minor: Trade agreements apply. One or more items fall under the World Trade Organization Government Procurement Agreement and free trade agreements, which can affect which countries' products are allowed.
