In-country value (ICV)
The share of a contract's value delivered inside the buying nation: local work, jobs and capability.
In-country value (ICV) measures how much of a contract's value is delivered inside the buying nation: local manufacturing, employment, training and services rather than imported finished goods. Gulf states in particular have made ICV a formal procurement criterion. Meeting it honestly means structuring programmes around genuine local work and joint ventures, not accounting exercises, a central consideration in how capability is brought into markets with localisation mandates.
In practice
Where in-country value is a formal procurement criterion, meeting it honestly means structuring programmes around genuine local work and joint ventures rather than accounting exercises, and that is central to how Unstrat brings capability into markets with localisation mandates. Unstrat designs programmes so local manufacturing, employment, training and services are real, delivering value inside the buying nation instead of importing finished goods and claiming credit. The advantage is a programme that satisfies national requirements while building lasting capability, aligning the buyer's economic and mission objectives. Because Unstrat is the accountable single channel, the ICV commitments it makes are ones it stands behind rather than obligations dispersed among intermediaries. Localisation arrangements are scoped per programme, subject to export controls and end-use approvals, so the local content reflects what each programme can properly and lawfully deliver.
