MEMORANDUM FOR : SEE DISTRIBUTION SUBJECT : Implementing Guidance for Cooperative Logistics Supply Support Arrangement (CLSSA) Policy (DSCA 06-11) [SAMM E-Change #47] REFERENCE :
The purpose of this memorandum is to provide implementing guidance in relation to above reference memorandum that issued overall direction regarding the revised CLSSA policies. This memorandum updates Chapter 5 of the Security Assistance Management Manual (SAMM) with the mandatory CLSSA-unique Letter of Offer and Acceptance (LOA) notes, guidance on the new CLSSA business rules, and other information pertinent to the CLSSA program. The mandatory CLSSA-unique LOA notes (attached) will be included in Table C5.T5. of the SAMM. For standardization purposes, the Points of Contact LOA note cited in the referenced memorandum will not be used. The business rules in the referenced memorandum identified December 31, 2004 as the effective date for the new Foreign Military Sales Order (FMSO) I investment deposit calculation. This memorandum revises the effective date to September 20, 2005, which is the effective date of the referenced policy memorandum. The revised investment deposit calculation must be used for any existing FMSO I LOAs accepted on or after September 20, 2005. The revised investment deposit calculation is 30 percent/70 percent for the on-hand and on-order amounts respectively vice the previous calculation ratio of 5/17 for the on-hand and on-order amounts. Defense Security Assistance Management System (DSAMS) users should over-ride the default DSAMS calculations for the on-hand and on-order amounts until the system is changed to reflect the new percentages. Additionally, DoD Instruction 2000.20, "Cooperative Logistics Supply Support Arrangements," dated 29 August 2005, has recently been revised for administrative purposes only. The revised DoD Instruction can be located at http://www.dtic.mil/whs/directives/corres/html/200020.htm. This change will be included in the automated version of the SAMM found on the DSCA Web Page as SAMM E-Change #47. The CLSSA policy will be revisited within eight months to ensure its continued effectiveness and to gauge the timing of future improvements identified in Attachment 5 of the referenced memorandum. If you have any questions concerning this policy, please contact Mr. Kent Bell, DSCA/STR/POL, at (703) 604-6612 or e-mail: kent.bell@dsca.mil. Richard J. Millies ATTACHMENT : DISTRIBUTION :
