POLICY JUSTIFICATION

Peru--Design and Construction at Callao Naval Base

    The Government of Peru has requested to buy equipment and services 
to support the procurement of maritime and onshore facilities at the 
Callao Naval Base. The following non-Major Defense Equipment items will 
be included: lifecycle design; construction; project management; 
engineering studies; engineering services; technical support; facility 
and infrastructure assessments; surveys; planning; programming; design; 
acquisition; contract administration; construction management; 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 $1.5 billion.
    This proposed sale will contribute to the foreign policy objectives 
of the U.S.

[[Page 12766]]

by helping to improve the security of an important partner which is a 
force for political stability, peace, and economic progress in South 
America.
    The proposed sale will improve Peru's port infrastructure to 
accommodate current and future naval and logistical operations and 
requirements. This sale will also provide a safer, more efficient 
platform for naval operations by reducing civilian[hyphen]military 
interactions at the existing facility. Peru will have no difficulty 
absorbing these articles and services into its armed forces.
    The proposed sale of this construction and support will not alter 
the regional military balance in the region.
    The principal contractor or contractors will be determined later 
from a list of approved vendors, likely through a competitive process. 
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 or contractors.
    Implementation of this proposed sale will require the assignment of 
up to twenty U.S. Government or U.S. contractor representatives to Peru 
for a duration of up to ten years to provide construction management 
and oversight.
    There will be no adverse impact on U.S. defense readiness as a 
result of this proposed sale.
