Effective 15 days from release, SAMM Table C4.T2., Country, International Organization, and Regional Codes and FMS Eligibility, is updated to revise codes "E3" and "E4" to track funds provided under the Consolidated Appropriations Act, FY2008 (PL 110-161) for ASFF and ISFF as supplemented by the Supplemental Appropriations Act, FY2008 (PL 110-252), both funded with two-year funds. The Defense Security Cooperation Agency must authorize and will assign use of these codes for Pseudo LOA documents. The following information applies:
This change will be included in the automated version of the SAMM found on the DSCA Web Page as SAMM E-Change 120 and rescinds the referenced DSCA policy. The attached instructions and notes should be used/added to all LOA documents using these codes; however, there is no need to amend or modify existing LOA documents only to comply with the instructions or to add these notes. This change to the referenced policy memo was required to more accurately track funding levels over multiple fiscal years and authorities. If you have any questions concerning the attached guidance, please contact Mr. Kidd Manville, DSCA-STR/POL, kidd.Manville@dsca.mil, (703) 604-6594. Freda J. Lodge ATTACHMENT : DISTRIBUTION :

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.
