POLICY JUSTIFICATION 

NATO Support and Procurement 

Agency (NSPA)—C–17 Maintenance 

The North Atlantic Treaty 

Organization (NATO) Support and 

Procurement Agency as Lead Nation has 

requested to buy contractor logistics 

support for the C–17 Strategic Airlift 

Capability program; United Stats (U.S.) 

Government and contractor engineering, 

technical, and logistics support services; 

and other related elements of logistics 

and program support. The estimated 

total cost is $150 million. 

This proposed sale will support the 

foreign policy goals and national 

security objectives of the U.S. by 

improving the security of NATO 

partners that are a force for political 

stability and economic progress in the 

North Atlantic region. 

The proposed sale will improve 

NATO’s capability to meet current and 

future threats by improving and 

maintaining a flexible strategic airlift 

capability. The multinational Heavy 

Airlift Wing already has C–17s in its 

inventory and will have no difficulty 

absorbing these additional services into 

its armed services. 

The proposed sale of this equipment 

and support will not alter the basic 

military balance in the region. 

The principal contractor will be The 

Boeing Company, Arlington, VA. There 

are no known offset agreements 

proposed in connection with this 

potential sale. 

Implementation of this proposed sale 

will not require the assignment of any 

additional U.S. Government or 

contractor representatives to NATO. 

There will be no adverse impact on 

U.S. defense readiness as a result of this 

proposed sale.
