About this opportunity
The Department of War Office of Strategic Capital seeks a novel business process solution to design, document, and implement a minimum viable operating model for back-office operations, with white papers due May 13. The procurement will award under prototype Other Transaction authority per 10 U.S.C. 4022, foreclosing traditional FAR-based competition.
Place of performance includes the National Capital Region and potentially other locations worldwide, with administrative oversight in Arlington, Virginia. The effort spans up to six months and requires design and implementation of foundational federal credit program infrastructure across credit operations, risk management, portfolio oversight, and compliance. Deliverables include resilient digital workflows for credit operations and loan lifecycles; proprietary, in-house credit rating systems and risk management frameworks compliant with the Federal Credit Reform Act; a dedicated portfolio management organizational structure capable of post-close oversight and national security impact monitoring; robust governance structures with clear internal controls and conflict-of-interest management procedures; and a fully staffed, trained back-office resilient against single points of failure and audit-ready for GAO or IG reviews. Personnel must hold Tier 1 (T1) investigations; no facilities clearance is required. Evaluation requires demonstration of technical capabilities to deliver the described attributes and satisfaction of at least one condition outlined in CSO HQ003425CSO02 Section 1.4. The NAICS code is 541715, Research and Development in the Physical, Engineering, and Life Sciences (except Nanotechnology and Biotechnology). The PSC code is AC32, National Defense R&D Services; Defense-Related Activities; Applied Research. Contracting Point of Contact is Danny Uhr (danny.uhr.civ@mail.mil); OSC CSO Point of Contact is William Waterworth (william.a.waterworth.civ@mail.mil).
Notice text
The Department of War (DoW) Office of Strategic Capital (OSC) is currently at a critical transition point and is seeking novel business processes to drastically enhance the mission effectiveness of its back-office functionality. Historically focused heavily on initial deal execution and startup activities, the organization must now evolve into a structured, scalable federal credit organization.
Currently, OSC faces severe resource constraints and relies on highly manual, person-dependent, and paper-based processes in key functional areas like credit operations and portfolio management. As the deal pipeline continues to expand rapidly, the lack of a formalized "back of bank" infrastructure introduces unacceptable risks to long-term viability, audit readiness, and alignment with national security objectives. The mission requires an immediate institutionalization of operational capabilities to safeguard resources and ensure sustained mission success.
Using the authority in 10 U.S.C. § 4022, OSC seeks a novel business process solution to rapidly design, document, and implement a minimum viable operating model (MVOM) for the Office of Strategic Capital’s back-office. This effort focuses on developing the foundational pillars of a federal credit program infrastructure, spanning credit operations, risk management, portfolio oversight, and compliance, thereby enabling deal teams to focus securely and efficiently on execution.
The desired end state is a fully functional, repeatable, and auditable "back of bank" infrastructure that seamlessly supports OSC’s deal execution teams.
