Mandatory for Foreign Military Sales (FMS) Letters of Offer and Acceptance (LOAs) when a Nonrecurring Cost (NC) charge applies and:

  1. The costs are included in the price; and
  2. A waiver has been requested but has not yet been approved/disapproved.

Mandatory for Amendments and Modifications when lines are added and an NC charge applies to the new lines and a waiver has been requested but not approved/disapproved; or quantities are increased on lines where an NC charge applies and a waiver has been requested but not approved/disapproved.

This note cannot be used if the justification for the waiver is "Loss of Sale" since "Loss of Sale" waivers must be approved prior to LOA (or Amendment when items are being added) signature/ acceptance.
