The Defense Security Cooperation Agency (DSCA) is central to managing the U.S. government's global security cooperation initiatives. To ensure mission success, DSCA needed reliable cradle-to-grave acquisition, procurement, and invoicing support. Chickasaw Federal brought deep acquisition expertise and strategic planning capabilities to help streamline procurement processes, ensure compliance with federal regulations, and improve resource allocation—enabling DSCA to better support the transfer of defense resources to international allies and partners.

Our Approach

Under DSCA’s governance, Chickasaw Federal supported all aspects of acquisition lifecycle management and operational coordination for both DSCA and the Washington Headquarters Services – Acquisition Directorate (WHS-AD). From strategic market research and solicitation planning to workflow monitoring and compliance, our team delivered timely, audit-ready support aligned with the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR). We worked directly with government counterparts to improve efficiency and transparency across multiple programs.

Accomplishments

Chickasaw Federal’s acquisition support enhanced DSCA’s ability to oversee critical security cooperation programs by increasing visibility, reducing delays, and standardizing workflows. These improvements helped strengthen operational execution and accelerate the transfer of defense articles and services to U.S. allies—reinforcing international partnerships and national security goals. Key achievements include: 

  • Streamlined acquisition lifecycle management for DSCA and WHS-AD
