(iii) *Description:* On April 23, 2020, Congress was notified by congressional certification transmittal number 19-60 of the possible sale, under Section 36(b)(1) of the Arms Export Control Act, of the Government of the United Arab Emirates (UAE) for a Foreign Military Sales Order (FMSO) II to provide funds for blanket order requisitions under a Cooperative Logistics Supply Support Agreement (CLSSA) for common spares/repair parts to support the United Arab Emirates' fleet of AH-64 Apache, UH-60 Black Hawk, and CH-47 Chinook aircraft, additional support, and other related elements of logistics and program support. The total estimated value was $150 million. There was no Major Defense Equipment (MDE) associated with this sale.
This transmittal notifies an extension of the previously notified Foreign Military Sales Order (FMSO) II for blanket order requisitions under a Cooperative Logistics Supply Support Agreement (CLSSA) for common spares/repair parts to support the United Arab Emirates' fleet of AH-64 Apache, UH-60 Black Hawk, and CH-47 Chinook aircraft, additional support, and other related elements of logistics and program support. There is no MDE being reported with this notification and, as such, the total MDE value remains $0. The total estimated value of the newly extended, non-MDE articles and services is $300 million; resulting in an increase in both the estimated non-MDE and overall total case value to $450 million.
(iv) *Significance:* The proposed sale will contribute to the UAE's ability to effectively integrate with United States (U.S.)-led coalitions and operate independently in support of U.S. interests and the security of U.S. forces in-theater and is consistent with U.S. bilateral and multilateral defense plans in the CENTCOM region.
(v) *Justification:* This proposed sale will support the foreign policy and national security of the U.S. by helping to improve the security of an important partner in the region. This sale is consistent with U.S. initiatives to provide key partners in the region with modern systems that will enhance interoperability with U.S. forces and increase security.
