IRREVOCABLE LETTER OF CREDIT (NOV 2014)

FA330021R00040001

“Irrevocable letter of credit” (ILC), as used in this clause, means a written commitment by a federally insured financial institution to pay all (a) or part of a stated amount of money, until the expiration date of the letter, upon presentation by the Government (the beneficiary) of a written demand therefor. Neither the financial institution nor the offeror/Contractor can revoke or condition the letter of credit.

If the offeror intends to use an ILC in lieu of a bid bond, or to secure other types of bonds such as performance and payment bonds, the (b) letter of credit and letter of confirmation formats in paragraphs (e) and (f) of this clause shall be used.

The letter of credit shall be irrevocable, shall require presentation of no document other than a written demand and the ILC (including (c) confirming letter, if any), shall be issued/confirmed by an acceptable federally insured financial institution as provided in paragraph (d) of this clause, and-

If used as a bid guarantee, the ILC shall expire no earlier than 60 days after the close of the bid acceptance period;(1)

If used as an alternative to corporate or individual sureties as security for a performance or payment bond, the offeror/Contractor may (2) submit an ILC with an initial expiration date estimated to cover the entire period for which financial security is required or may submit an ILC with an initial expiration date that is a minimum period of one year from the date of issuance. The ILC shall provide that, unless the issuer provides the beneficiary written notice of non-renewal at least 60 days in advance of the current expiration date, the ILC is automatically extended without amendment for one year from the expiration date, or any future expiration date, until the period of required coverage is completed and the Contracting Officer provides the financial institution with a written statement waiving the right to payment. The period of required coverage shall be:

For contracts subject to 40 U.S.C. chapter 31, subchapter III, Bonds, the later of-(i)

Oneyear following the expected date of final payment;(A)

For performance bonds only, until completion of any warranty period; or(B)

For payment bonds only, until resolution of all claims filed against the payment bond during the one-year period following final (C) payment.

For contracts not subject to 40 U.S.C. chapter 31, subchapter III, Bonds, the later of-(ii)

90 days following final payment; or(A)

For performance bonds only, until completion of any warranty period.(B)

(d) Only federally insured financial institutions rated investment grade by a commercial rating service shall issue or confirm the ILC.(1)

Unless the financial institution issuing the ILC had letter of credit business of at least $25 million in the past year, ILCs over $5 million (2) must be confirmed by another acceptable financial institution that had letter of credit business of at least $25 million in the past year.

The Offeror/Contractor shall provide the Contracting Officer a credit rating that indicates the financial institutions have the required (3) credit rating as of the date of issuance of the ILC.

The current rating for a financial institution is available through any of the following rating services registered with the U.S. Securities (4) and Exchange Commission (SEC) as a Nationally Recognized Statistical Rating Organization (NRSRO). NRSRO’s can be located at the website http://www.sec.gov/answers/nrsro.htm maintained by the SEC.
