SUBJECT :
Assignment of Security Cooperation (SC) Customer Code "89" for Department of State (DoS)-Directed (SDD) Foreign Military Financing (FMF) for the Central America Maritime Regional Initiative (CAMRI), DSCA Policy 16-08, [SAMM E-Change 297]
Division K of the Fiscal Year 2016 Consolidated Appropriations Act, "Department of State, Foreign Operations, and Related Programs Appropriations Act, 2016 makes FMF available to procure defense articles and services for subsequent transfer to CAMRI-eligible countries. DoS has established CAMRI.
Although Foreign Military Sales (FMS) policy and standard FMS Letter of Offer and Acceptance (LOA) Notes generally will apply to cases under the SDD FMF Procurement program CAMRI, there will be significant differences from other FMS LOAs funded with FMF because SDD FMF LOAs are internal U.S. Government transactions. Benefitting countries will not sign an SDD FMF LOA, which means the Standard Terms and Conditions will not apply. DoS will, however, secure FMF Security Assurance Agreements from benefitting countries to obtain appropriate end-use, security, and retransfer assurances. DoS will send a memorandum to DSCA identifying the funding amount(s) and fiscal year; benefitting countries, reporting requirements; authorized services, equipment, and materials to be procured; and any specific DoS requirements, limitations and instructions.
Instructions and Notes for SDD FMF LOA development are attached and should be reviewed carefully because of the unique characteristics of the SDD FMF Procurement program. Per DSCA policy memo 13-04, [SAMM E-Change 193], use the SDD LOA procurement notes that were added to the SAMM Appendix 6 (State Department Directed FMF Procurement Reporting Requirements, State Department Directed FMF Procurement-Team Deployment, State Department Directed FMF Procurement Purchase and Funds Usage).
Code "89" is assigned effective immediately for the SDD FMF Procurement program, CAMRI. Chapter 4, Table C4.T2B, Security Cooperation (SC) Customer and Regional Codes and FMS Eligibility, is updated as follows:
Organization | FMS | Combatant | Regional | FMS/AECA | Accel. Case |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
SDD FMF-CAMRI | 89 | SO | NR | Yes | Yes |
During case execution, the Implementing Agency (IA) is responsible for submitting expenditure reports to DSCA (Business Operations Directorate) as specified in the DoS Memorandum to DSCA and as specified by DSCA (Business Operations Directorate).
If you have any policy questions contact Ms. Caroline Chin, DSCA-STR/SPI, caroline.s.chin.civ@mail.mil, (703) 697-9073.
