Dear colleagues: Hope you all are well and safe. This is from a Brazilian army proposal. Later in the document, the word offset appears. I tend to think the "offset" would be the right translation. Thank you in advance for your help!

Reference:

Military offsets

Up until now, many Member States have required compensation (offsets) from
non-national suppliers when they procured defence equipment abroad. Offset
practices as well as the rules and regulations underpinning them vary considerably in different Member States. In some cases, offsets are of a military nature and concern the subject-matter of the contract directly (for example, industrial participation of local companies in the production of the equipment procured). In other cases, they are indirect, but limited to the military sphere (for example, sub-contracts awarded by the supplier to local defence companies for other military products), or indirect and nonmilitary (for example, the supplier’s commitment to mobilise foreign investment in civil sectors of the buying country’s economy or to purchase civil goods in that country).
