The proposed sale of this equipment 

and support will not alter the basic 

military balance in the region. 

The prime contractor will be The 

Boeing Company, Seattle, WA. There 

are a significant number of other 

companies under contract with the U.S. 

Navy that will provide components, 

systems, and engineering services 

during the execution of this effort. 

While the purchaser typically requests 

offsets, any offset agreement will be 

defined in future negotiations between 

the purchaser and the contractor(s). 

Implementation of this proposed sale 

will require multiple trips by U.S. 

Government representatives and the 

assignment of contractor representatives 

to Canada on an intermittent basis over 

the life of the case to support delivery 

and integration of items and to provide 

supply support management, inventory 

control and equipment familiarization. 

There will be no adverse impact on 

U.S. defense readiness as a result of this 

proposed sale.
