MEMORANDUM FOR BUSINESS OPERATIONS/COMPTROLLER, DEFENSE SECURITY COOPERATION AGENCY

SUBJECT :

SUBJECT: Pricing Military Personnel Reimbursements in Support of Foreign Military Sales (FMS)

Effective with fiscal year (FY) 2005, military personnel services reimbursement in support of a FMS case shall be priced using the Annual Department of Defense Composite Rate that includes permanent change of station expense (PCS) and shall no longer be adjusted to collect actual PCS expense, see attached example. For PCS moves that started in a previous FY, actual PCS expense shall be used for that FY and the composite rate adjusted accordingly.

This change in policy will be codified in the next update of the "Department of Defense Financial Management Regulation," Volume 15, Chapter 7, subparagraph 070203. Please ensure that this change in policy is given widest distribution to the FMS community.

My point of contact is Ms. Becky Allen. She can be contacted via email at becky.allen@osd.mil or phone at 703-697-0718.

Notes:

  1. Refer to http://www.dod.mil/comptroller/rates/index.html to obtain the current annual DoD composite rate. To compute hourly rate multiply Annual DoD Composite Rate by .00055 which includes a 14% leave and holiday factor.
  2. Accelerate total military costs by 8% for officers and 16% for enlisted personnel for Other Personnel Support Costs. These costs are reimbursed to Defense Health Program (97*0130)
  3. Effective FY 2005 the Annual DoD Composite Rate is no longer adjusted to reflect actual PCS expense.
  4. Administrative surcharge is additive to the FMS selling price
