A Comparison of Foreign Military Sales (FMS) Versus Direct Commercial Sales (DCS)
International military sales are on the rise. While the United States and European Union are cutting their defense expenditures, several countries—particularly in East Asia, South Asia, the Middle East, and South America—are increasing expenditures. Hence, U.S. Contractors are increasingly seeking to sell products and services to these markets. There are two primary methods for doing so: government-to-government sales through the U.S. Government's Foreign Military Sales ("FMS") program and similar mechanisms, and Direct Commercial Sales ("DCS") negotiated directly between the contractor and the foreign customer.
Foreign Military Financing of Direct Commercial Contracts (FMF DCC)
In 1984 the U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) established guidelines for the processing and review of commercial contracts for direct purchase of U.S. defense articles and services from U.S. firms to be financed with funds appropriated by the Congress. Since that time the program has been downscoped. Purchasers (defined as the foreign countries eligible by U.S. law to establish Direct Commercial Contracts (DCCs) funded with Foreign Military Financing (FMF)) are encouraged to use the Foreign Military Sales (FMS) system for their acquisition needs.
