WASHINGTON, September 15, 2025 - The State Department has made a determination approving a possible Foreign Military Sale to the Government of Norway of GBU-39B Small Diameter Bomb Increment I and related equipment for an estimated cost of $113 million. The Defense Security Cooperation Agency delivered the required certification notifying Congress of this possible sale today.
The Government of Norway has requested to buy eight hundred sixteen (816) GBU-39/B Small Diameter Bombs Increment I. The following non-MDE items will also be included: spare parts, consumables and accessories, and repair and return support; training aids, devices, and spare parts; classified and unclassified software delivery and support; classified and unclassified publications and technical data; U.S. Government and contractor engineering, logistics, and technical support services; and other related elements of logistics and program support. The estimated total cost is $113 million.
This proposed sale will support the foreign policy and national security objectives of the United States by improving the security of a NATO Ally that is a force for political stability and economic progress in Europe.
The proposed sale will improve Norway’s capability to meet current and future threats and increase its interoperability with the United States and other NATO members. Norway will have no difficulty absorbing these articles and services 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 The Boeing Company, located in Arlington, VA. The purchaser typically requests offsets. Any offset agreement will be defined in negotiations between the purchaser and the contractor.
Implementation of this proposed sale will not require the assignment of any additional U.S. Government or contractor representatives to Norway.
There will be no adverse impact on U.S. defense readiness as a result of this proposed sale.
The description and dollar value are for the highest estimated quantity and dollar value based on initial requirements. Actual dollar value will be lower depending on final requirements, budget authority, and signed sales agreement(s), if and when concluded.
All questions regarding this proposed Foreign Military Sale should be directed to the State Department's Under Secretary of State for Arms Control and International Security, Political-Military Affairs Outreach, at T_Outreach_PM@state.gov.
