State Dept. Approves Military Sales to Bahrain, Kuwait

The State Department approved two potential military sales, to Bahrain and Kuwait, the Defense Security Cooperation Agency said March 29. The sale to Bahrain includes $350 million worth of equipment and services to refurbish “Excess Defense Article (EDA) AH-1W multi-role helicopters,” and the principal contractor will be Bell Corp. The sale to Kuwait includes “additional Cartridge Actuated Device/Propellant Actuated Devices (CAD/PAD) and support,” part of a broader Foreign Military Sales program case valued at about $59.1 million. The principal contractors are currently unknown, "as there will be competitive contract solicitations after FMS case implementation," DSCA said.
