jbell on DSKJLSW7X2PROD with NOTICES
Guyana—Bell 412EPi and 429
Helicopters
The Government of Guyana has
requested to buy two (2) Bell 412EPi
Light Utility Helicopters with customerunique modifications; two (2) Bell 429
Light Utility Helicopters with customerunique modifications; two (2) WESCAM
MX-10 cameras; mission equipment;
contractor-provided pilot and
maintainer training; particular ground
support equipment; spares;
publications; integrated product
support; technical assistance;
transportation; Repair and Return; and
other related elements of logistics and
program support. The total estimated
program cost is $256 million.
This proposed sale will support the
foreign policy and national security of
the United States by helping to improve
security of Guyana, which is expected to
grow to be an important force for
political stability and economic progress
in South America.
The proposed sale of the Bell 412EPi
and 429 helicopters will improve
Guyana’s capability to meet current and
future threats. Guyana will use the
enhanced capability to strengthen its
homeland defense; conduct maritime
surveillance, patrol, and interdiction;
counter narcotic trafficking and
transnational criminal organizations;
deter regional threats; and support
coalition partners overseas. Guyana will
have no difficulty absorbing this
equipment 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 Bell
Helicopter Textron Incorporated (BHTI),
Piney Flats, TN. The purchaser typically
requests offsets. There are no known
offset agreements proposed in
connection with this potential sale.
Implementation of this sale will not
require the assignment of any additional
U.S. Government or contractor
representatives to Guyana.
There will be no adverse impact on
U.S. defense readiness as a result of this
proposed sale.
