The procedures for Pseudo LOAs authorized and funded pursuant to PL 110-252 are similar to those followed for the Consolidated Appropriations Act, FY2008. Attached are specific LOA notes and instructions for Pseudo LOAs funded with ASFF and ISFF under PL 110-252 (FY2009 Bridge Funds).

Instructions for Preparing Pseudo Letters of Offer and Acceptance (LOAs)
If using other than full and open competition, since these Pseudo LOAs are not signed by the FMS purchaser and do not involve an agreement with the foreign government, the authority of Title 10 United States Code 2304 (c) (4), implemented by the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) 6.302-4, International Agreement (directed source), cannot be used to justify sole source requirements. Any sole source purchases must be justified and approved in accordance with other statutory authority such as Title 10 U.S.C. 2304(c)-1 or Title 10 U.S.C. 2304(c)-2 using procedures applicable to United States Government appropriated-funded purchases.
