Background: In 1996, Congress enacted section 40A of the Arms Export Control Act (AECA) [22U.S.C. 2785]. Section 40A requires The President to establish an EUM program of defense articles sold, leased, or exported under the AECA or the Foreign Assistance Act (FAA) to: 1) improve accountability and provide - reasonable assurance that recipients comply with U.S. export control requirements regarding the use, transfer, and security of defense articles and services and; 2) ensure that the program provides end-use verification of defense articles and services for sensitive technology. DSCA developed the Golden Sentry EUM program in 2001 to comply with Section 40A. The program's focus is on government-to-government transfers and ensures that defense articles and services are only sent to authorized recipients and that recipients clearly understand their responsibilities regarding end use, retransfer restrictions and security of the equipment provided. U.S. personnel assigned to Security Cooperation Organizations (SCO) at embassies worldwide are required to observe and report any potential misuse or illegal transfer of U.S.-origin defense articles. For determined defense articles, Golden Sentry has established a EUM regime of physical security and inventory checks which requires entering each serial number in a database for inventory monitoring and historical data. The Security Cooperation Information Portal (SCIP) is a web-based system housing a family of applications. The two major current areas of functionality involve Foreign Military Sales (FMS) case execution and EUM tracking of determined defense articles and defense services. The EUM application was deployed in a subset of SCIP functionality known as - SCIP-EUM in December 2004. This notice of intent is NOT a request for proposals or quotations.
