Loan Program Office
Abstract
This program provides direct loans and loan guarantees in Critical Component Technology (CCT) companies to produce and scale critical technologies. CCT companies require significant debt capital to scale manufacturing and deployment of CCTs into critical supply chains. Given the market risk of emerging CCTs, private debt financing is often insufficient for or unavailable to CCT companies, especially compared to other technology sectors. As a result, private companies exhibit declining manufacturing readiness and are experiencing increased offshoring of manufacturing. The availability of OSC debt financing both incents CCT companies to scale manufacturing and attracts private capital into CCT sectors. OSC-issued direct loans and loan guarantees will be underwritten and repaid from private sources, including private commercial cash flows and collateral, with no reliance on federal support. Furthermore, OSC issued credit will not be used to finance capabilities nor will the Federal government be the primary user of any investment.
