The Security Cooperation Information Portal (SCIP)
The Security Cooperation Information Portal (SCIP) was established by the Defense Security Cooperation Agency (DSCA) to enable International Customers, customer agents, and United States Government personnel, with appropriate permissions, to access a variety of features, which are gathered into "Communities". Some Communities provide the ability to: (1) view Foreign Military Sales (FMS) case, line, requisition, and Supply Discrepancy Report (SDR)-level information obtained daily from all U.S. Military Department (MILDEP) Case Execution systems and the tri-service Case Development system (DSAMS); and (2) input a variety of FMS MILSTRIP and MILSTRIP-like transactions, which are partially validated in the SCIP, and then passed directly to the appropriate MILDEP Case Execution system for processing. For more information about SCIP and SCIP Communities, please review the SCIP Background Document(PDF).

Technology Support
What is the Security Cooperation Information Portal (SCIP)?
A DoD-managed web-based system that provides access to FMS and security cooperation case-related data extracts as well as numerous other capabilities. The SCIP assembles current international logistics and financial management information from FMS legacy systems CISIL, SAMIS, CMCS, MISIL, DSAMS and DIFS, and provides that consolidated information to the purchaser and DoD users in a common format. It provides a secure avenue for information exchange and data assurance.
Who are the primary users of SCIP?
FMS case managers who have need of FMS case information will be interested in the SCIP system. All Security Cooperation Offices (SCOs) who have established FMS cases will also want to use the system.
Is there a point of contact where I can get further information or assistance on the SCIP system?
Yes. Email dsca.sciphelp@mail.mil or phone 1-833-DSCA-IMT (1-833-372-2468).
What is the SCIP URL address?

Do I need special software on my PC to access the SCIP?
No. All you need is a web browser such as Edge, Firefox, or Chrome.
Many times, when trying to access internet sites with a ".mil" address, I get error messages saying I am not allowed access. Will I have the same problem accessing SCIP?
