Instructions and LOA Notes for Preparing Pseudo Letters of Offer and Acceptance (LOAs)
Public Law 109-289, Afghanistan and Iraq Security Forces Fund
Procedures for Public Law 109-289 pseudo LOAs are similar to those in SAMM, Chapter 11, C11.3., Counter-Narcotics Assistance National Defense Authorizations Acts, Sections 1004 and 1033, and will follow the same format as section 1206 pseudo 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.
Instructions for Preparing PL 109-289 Pseudo LOAs |

1. Case Identifier. DSCA (Strategy Directorate) will assign a case identifier composed of country code (e.g., "B6" for Afghanistan; "B7" for Iraq), Implementing Agency code of the DoD Component providing the support, and a case designator assigned by DSCA (Strategy Directorate). |
2. Nickname Field. The country/organization receiving the support and the pseudo case authority and the text "(Non-AECA)" (e.g., ASFF or ISFF, PL 109-289, (Non-AECA)) are identified in the "nickname" field on the pseudo LOA. Since ASFF has three internal customers, Afghanistan National Army (ANA), Afghanistan National Police (ANP), and Detainee Operations (DO), ASFF cases should be identified as ASFF/ANA, ASFF/ANP, or ASFF/DO, PL 109-289 (Non-AECA). |
3. Purchaser's Reference Field. Include the following statement below in the Purchaser's Reference Field of the Customer Request: |
4. Terms of Sale Field. The Term of Sale for ASFF and ISFF pseudo LOAs is Cash with Acceptance. |

6. Authority Fiscal Year. Insert "FY 2007/2008." |
7. Purchaser Signature Field (Customer Signatory Name on Distribution Tab of Case Detail). Insert the authority and the statement that no purchaser signature is required; e.g., "PL 109-289 (Non-AECA - No Purchaser Signature Required)." |
8. Purchaser Mailing Address. Insert "Department of Defense." |
9. MASL. Use valid existing MASLs for items being transferred or contact DSCA to approve new MASLs, if required. |
10. Delivery Term Code. Use Delivery Term Codes for Defense Transportation System (DTS) through final destination for PL 109-289 pseudo LOAs, unless the written request specifies otherwise. |
