MEMORANDUM FOR : SEE DISTRIBUTION SUBJECT : GPS/PPS Security Devices Sold FMS for Integration Into Host Application Equipment Note in Letters of Offer and Acceptance (DSCA 04-22) [SAMM E-Change 12] REFERENCE :
The Security Assistance Management Manual (SAMM) requires a specific note be included in all Letters of Offer and Acceptance (LOAs) regarding GPS/PPS - Hardware Security. The purpose of this memorandum is to provide LOA note wording to be used on FMS cases with certain NATO nations where GPS/PPS chips are being provided to a U.S. contractor for integration work to be performed at a U.S. location. This note does not alleviate the requirement for a third party transfer approval from the Department of State should the items go beyond a single transfer to one U.S. contractor. The attached table provides specific text for this new note and indicates when the note should be included on LOAs, Amendments, and Modifications. This new note is incorporated in Table C5.T5. of the SAMM (SAMM E-Change 12) and should be used on any future cases; The note requires that certain conditions be met before the GPS/PPS items in question can be transferred. The Military Departments and other Implementing Agencies who might provide GPS/PPS items should provide DSCA/P3-Weapons Division with information on how they will implement the requirements in this note. This policy is not retroactive --- there is no need to do Modifications or Amendments to add this note to existing cases. LOAs, Amendments, and Modifications currently on hold by DSCA will be returned to the applicable Implementing Agency for incorporation of this note before countersignature. If you have any questions regarding this note, please contact Steve Harris, DSCA/P3-Policy and Plans Division, (703) 604-6611. For questions regarding GPS/PPS, please contact LTC James Gentile, DSCA/P3-Weapons Division, (703) 604-6622. Freda J. Lodge ATTACHMENT : DISTRIBUTION :
