Thank you, Mr. Chair.
The NSPA is governed by the 29 nations of NATO, so the industrial benefits for those associated programs that go to the NSPA are allocated to the 29 countries. Industry from the 29 countries can bid on those contracts.
However, the NSPA also has overarching support partnerships. There are 90 weapons platforms that they manage, which are managed by support partnerships that are made up of different nations. If like-minded nations want to buy a particular platform, they get together under the umbrella of the NSPA, and those nations that govern that support partnership get to determine which countries' industries can bid on those particular contracts. The NSPA actually has up to 30 support partnerships for their different programs. The support partnership nations get to determine who may bid.
Generally, from an overarching NSPA perspective, the NATO nations' industries can bid, but if that capability is not available in those nations, then the NSPA will look outside the NATO nations to allow those other industries to bid.
