This memorandum provides guidance pertaining to the execution of funds appropriated by the FY11 Continuing Appropriations Act (CAA), Public Law (P.L.) 111-322, and the development of FY11 ASFF (G6), CRSP (E7), and Section 1206 (H2) Letters of Offer and Acceptance (LOAs). Funds appropriated by the FY11 CAA expire at midnight March 4, 2011, unless a subsequent authority extends the period of availability. Accordingly, all LOAs written using this authority must be implemented and funds must be obligated (on contract) by midnight March 4, 2011, unless a subsequent authority extends the period of availability.

The Funds Expiration, Purpose, Availability and Amount note for FY11 G6, E7 and H2 LOAs provided in the referenced memoranda is revised per the attached note and accompanying program information chart. However, instructions for use of this note for FY08, FY09, and FY10 CRSP LOAs, provided in reference B., remain unchanged.

The period of performance on an LOA or contract establishes the time during which services may be provided. The standard guidance for G6, E7 and H2 LOA periods of performance continues. The period of performance for U.S. Government sourced severable services may extend up to September 30, 2012 for FY11 ASFF (based on the two-year nature of ASFF) and for FY11 Section 1206 (based on the cross-fiscal year authority provided to the Section 1206 Program). The period of performance for contracted severable services may extend beyond September 30, 2012 for ASFF, but may not exceed 12 months. The period of performance for contracted severable services for Section 1206 may exceed 12 months but may not extend beyond September 30, 2012. For CRSP, the period of performance is not limited by CAA concerns.

Implementing Agencies are authorized to specify the required period of performance for severable services on FY11 G6, E7 and H2 LOAs, as long as the above performance period restrictions are respected and written notification to the service provider clarifies the obligation of that effort is subject to the availability of funds.

Once the CAA P.L. 111-322 is replaced with a new appropriation, instructions for preparing G6, E7 and H2 LOAs will be revised and all cases in any phase of the LOA process will need to be revised to cite the new appropriations public law. All implemented cases will need to be modified prior to case closure to cite the FY11 final appropriation.

If you have any questions concerning this guidance, please contact Ms. Marie Kokotajlo, DSCA-STR/POL, marie.kokotajlo@dsca.mil, (703) 604-1107.
