Government FMS Contracting

(FMS) involves the procurement and delivery of defense articles, services, and training from the U.S. government to allied foreign governments and international organizations.

Facilitated primarily through the Department of Defense, FMS operates under the Arms Export Control Act, enabling the transfer of military equipment and expertise to strengthen global security partnerships. Helping specialized suppliers, navigate a complex process that includes negotiating terms, ensuring compliance with export regulations, and coordinating logistics.

This system not only bolsters U.S. foreign policy objectives but also drives economic benefits by supporting domestic defense industries.
