PART II – STATEMENT OF WORK STATEMENT (SOW)

1.0 BACKGROUND

The Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC) charters, regulates, and supervises national banks, federal thrifts, and federal branches and agencies of foreign banks. Headquartered in Washington, DC, the OCC is responsible for promoting and assuring the safety and soundness of the country’s system of national banks and maintaining its competitiveness, efficiency, integrity, and stability in the financial marketplace.

The OCC must assess and analyze all elements of bank operations. A primary concern of the agency pertains to credit risk. Credit risk is the risk to earnings or capital arising from an obligor’s failure to meet the terms of any contract with the bank or otherwise to perform as agreed. Commercial real estate and construction loans (jointly referred to as CRE hereafter) pose a credit risk to individual banks and thrifts, and the banking system in general, especially when such activity represents a large portion of bank lending.

2.0 SCOPE & DESCRIPTION OF SERVICES
