IMOD Mission to U.S.

What IMOD Mission to U.S. does

The IMOD Mission to the U.S. is the North American procurement office of the Government of Israel - Ministry of Defense, established in New York City in 1947 just prior to Israel's independence. Its core function is to procure defense articles and services from U.S. manufacturers on behalf of the Israeli Defense Forces and the broader Israeli Defense Establishment, using funds appropriated by the U.S. Congress through the Foreign Military Financing (FMF) program. The Mission manages an annual budget of over $3.3 billion — approximately 20% of Israel's annual defense budget — and processes more than 5,000 purchase orders, 66,000 shipping lots, and 37,000 invoices each year. All procurement activity is governed by the U.S. Defense Security Cooperation Agency (DSCA) Guidelines.

Operationally, the Mission runs a vendor registration system and an e-Commerce vendor portal where U.S. manufacturers, suppliers, resellers, and distributors apply to become approved vendors and bid on RFPs. Procurement is organized across five categories: Aviation, IT and Communication, Technical/Medical/Logistics, Maritime, and Vehicles and Machinery. The Mission also maintains a Rehabilitation and Bereaved Families Department in New York that provides welfare services to IDF veterans and bereaved families in the New York area. It is a government entity with no external shareholders, no venture capital, and no independent institutional ownership; its parent is the Government of Israel - Ministry of Defense.

Core offering

The IMOD Mission to the U.S. is a government procurement office that purchases U.S.-manufactured defense articles and services for the Israeli Defense Forces using U.S. Foreign Military Financing funds. U.S. manufacturers, suppliers, resellers, and distributors register through an online Vendor's Questionnaire, gain access to the e-Commerce vendor portal, and bid on RFPs across aviation, IT, technical/medical/logistics, maritime, and vehicles categories. The mission also operates a Rehabilitation Department providing welfare services to injured IDF veterans and bereaved families in the New York area.

Product overview

IMOD Mission to U.S. is a government procurement office, not a traditional product company. Its core offerings consist of a Vendor Registration System and e-Commerce Vendor Portal that enable U.S. manufacturers to supply defense-related products to Israel. The platform facilitates procurement across six major categories: Aviation (aircraft, maintenance, spare parts, propulsion), IT and Communication (servers, storage, IT, optics), Technical/Medical/Logistics (medical equipment, protective gear, transport), Maritime (vessels, periscopes, sonars, diving equipment), and Vehicles/Machinery (operational platforms, armored vehicles, parts). Additional services include Rehabilitation support for IDF veterans and bereaved families.
