program is required. The above notification requirements are combined

POLICY JUSTIFICATION
Government of Jordan--Aircraft Repair, Return, and Spares
The Government of Jordan has requested to buy aircraft and
munitions support and support equipment; minor modifications and
maintenance support; and other related elements of logistics and
program support that will be added to a previously implemented case
whose value was under the congressional notification threshold. The
original Foreign Military Sales (FMS) case, valued at $49.1 million ($0
in major defense equipment), included spare parts, consumables and
accessories, and repair and return support; 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 $70.5 million.
This proposed sale will support the foreign policy and national
security objectives of the United States by helping to improve the
security of a Major Non-NATO Ally that is an important force for
political stability and economic progress in the Middle East.
The proposed sale will improve Jordan's capability to meet current
and future threats by leveraging these spare parts and repairs to
maintain the operational readiness of its F-16, C-130, and F-5
aircraft, ensuring its ability to effectively patrol its borders,
respond to regional crises, and support CENTCOM's security objectives
in the region. Sustaining these critical platforms allows Jordan to
remain a reliable partner in countering terrorism and promoting
regional stability, key components of both Jordanian national defense
and broader CENTCOM priorities. Jordan 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 S&K Aerospace, LLC, located in
Warner Robbins, GA. 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 Jordan.
There will be no adverse impact on U.S. defense readiness as a
result of this proposed sale.
