Assignment of Code "E7" for Fiscal Year (FY) 2008 Authorities Relating to the Coalition Readiness Support Program (CRSP), DSCA Policy 09-02 [SAMM E-Change 126]
The Coalition Readiness Support Program (CRSP), a subset of Coalition Support Funds, is authorized to provide specialized training, or loan of supplies and equipment on a non-reimbursable basis to coalition forces supporting U.S. military operations in Iraq and Afghanistan. The U.S. Government will retain title to the equipment and transfer custody to coalition forces as necessary.
Effective immediately, Security Assistance Management Manual (SAMM), Table C4.T2., Country, International Organization and Regional Codes, and FMS Eligibility, is updated to add code "E7" to track funds provided for CRSP, authorized by the Supplemental Appropriations Act (War Supplemental), P.L 110-252, 122 Stat. 2398, FY2008. The Defense Security Cooperation Agency must authorize use of this code for Pseudo LOA documents. The following information applies:

Supplemental Appropriations Act for Fiscal Year 2008 (P.L. 110-252, 122 Stat. 2398) for Coalition Readiness Support Program (CRSP) cases | E7 | NR | NR | No | No | N/A |
This change will be included in the automated version of the SAMM found on the DSCA web page as SAMM E-Change 126.

Instructions for Preparing Pseudo Letters of Offer and Acceptance (LOAs)
Coalition Readiness Support Program (CRSP) cases (P.L. 110-252, 122 Stat. 2328), FY 2008
If using other than full and open competition, since these Pseudo LOA documents 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 (U.S.C.) section 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 found in title 10 U.S.C. using procedures applicable to United States Government appropriated-funded purchases.
