POLICY JUSTIFICATION 

Iraq—Bell Helicopter Contracted 

Logistics Support (CLS) 

The Government of Iraq has requested 

to buy additional services, as indicated 

below, that will be added to a 

previously implemented case whose 

value was under the congressional 

notification threshold. The original FMS 

case, valued at $28 million, included a 

Bell Contracted Logistics Support (CLS) 

and Field Service Representative (FSR) 

contract. This notification is for the 

combined CLS and FSR maintenance 

support for the following Bell aircraft: 

three (3) 407 variants, 206B3, OH–58A/ 

C Kiowa, Huey II and 505. Also 

included is U.S. Government and 

contractor engineering, technical and 

logistics support services; studies and 

surveys; and other related elements of 

logistics and program support. The 

estimated total cost is $300 million. 

This proposed sale will support the 

foreign policy and national security of 

the United States (U.S.) by helping to 

improve the security of a strategic 

partner. 

The proposed sale will improve the 

Republic of Iraq’s capability to meet 

current and future threats by enhancing 

the strength of its homeland defense. 

The Republic of Iraq will have no 

difficulty absorbing these services into 

its armed forces. 

The proposed sale of this equipment 

and support will not alter the basic 

military balance in the region. 

The principal contractor will be Bell 

Helicopter Company, Fort Worth, TX. 

There are no known offset agreements 

proposed in connection with this 

potential sale. 

Implementation of this proposed sale 

will require the assignment of four (4) 

additional U.S. Government or 

contractor representatives to Iraq for a 

duration of one (1) year to support CLS 

for Bell 505 aircraft. There are currently 

seven (7) U.S. Government or contractor 

representatives in Iraq that will stay an 

additional two (2) years to provide 

support for the contract option years for 

CLS and FSR service support for the 

three (3) 407 variants, 206B3, OH–58A/ 

C and Huey II aircraft. 

There will be no adverse impact on 

U.S. defense readiness as a result of this 

proposed sale.
