POLICY JUSTIFICATION
Iraq--Contracted Logistical Services for VACIS XPL Passenger Vehicle
Scanning Systems
The Government of Iraq has requested the extension of Contracted
Logistical Services (CLS), including 24/7 help desk service, for two
years in support of the Ministry of Interior's VACIS XPL passenger
vehicle scanning systems; corrective and preventive maintenance; spare
and repair parts; software updates, remote monitoring; 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 $90 million.
This proposed sale will support the foreign policy goals and
national security objectives of the United States by improving the
security of a partner country that is a force for political
[[Page 20149]]
stability and economic progress in Middle East.
The proposed sale will improve Iraq's capability to meet current
and future threats by providing continuation of CLS for these scanning
systems, enabling border forces to detect the inflow of weapons;
chemical, biological, radiological, and nuclear (CBRN) agents;
narcotics; and other forms of contraband at Iraq's borders. Iraq will
have no difficulty absorbing these articles and 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 Leidos, located in Reston, VA. At
this time, the U.S. Government is not aware of any offset agreement
proposed in connection with this potential sale. Any offset agreement
will be defined in negotiations between the purchaser and the
contractor.
Implementation of this proposed sale will not require the
assignment of any additional U.S. Government or contractor
representatives to Iraq.
There will be no adverse impact on U.S. defense readiness as a
result of this proposed sale.
