MEMORANDUM FOR :
DEPUTY UNDER SECRETARY OF THE AIR FORCE FOR INTERNATIONAL AFFAIRS SUBJECT : Use of Department of Defense (DoD)-Designated Construction Agents for Foreign Military Sales (FMS) Cases that Include Construction, DSCA Policy Memo 13-15 The purpose of this memorandum is to remind the security cooperation community of the requirement to engage DoD designated construction agents when a Foreign Military Sales (FMS) case includes construction lines. Chapter 4, paragraph 4.4.7.1. of the Security Assistance Management Manual (SAMM) notes that FMS case-supported construction services may be provided in one of two ways: (1) via the total package LOA under the cognizance of the managing IA (with a separate construction agent line included in the LOA); or (2) by a DoD-designated construction agent under the terms of a separate LOA. DoD-designated construction agents include the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, the Naval Facilities Engineering Command, and such other DoD activities assigned design or construction execution responsibilities in accordance with DoDD 4270.5, Military Construction. Enclosure 1 to DoDD 4270.5 (www.dtic.mil/whs/directives/corres/pdf/427005p.pdf) assigns responsibility for OCONUS geographic areas to specific construction agents. Implementing Agencies should coordinate with the appropriate regional construction agent prior to execution of an FMS construction activity. If you have questions regarding this policy please contact Mr. Clayton Holt, DSCA/STR/POL, at (703) 601-3658 or e-mail: clayton.holt@dsca.mil. Implementing Agencies should disseminate this memorandum to supporting activities. Scott R. Schless CC :
