Emergency FMS (review waived)
Contract or deal · United States · Contract or deal
In March 2026 the State Department waived congressional review on emergency grounds for a $151.8M sale to Israel of 12,000 BLU-110A/B 1,000-pound bomb bodies. Repkon USA, which runs the former General Dynamics Garland bomb-body plant, is the principal contractor; it renamed itself Paligen Technologies days later after a backlash. Emergency sales that month also included $298M for 5,000 small-diameter bombs and $209M for 10,000 500-pound bombs.
