National Security Fund Finance (“NSFF”) Program
Solicitation # WHSAD0819
The National Security Fund Finance (NSFF) Program, administered by the Office of Strategic Capital (OSC) within the Department of War, is a fund-level financing initiative designed to scale private capital investment in critical minerals and materials supply chains vital to U.S. national security. The program provides credit facilities in the form of loans to qualified, SEC-registered investment fund managers. These managers use the OSC loans in combination with private capital to invest in portfolio companies that address national security gaps, shortages, and vulnerabilities. As a condition of the funding, the OSC must receive a right of first offer to purchase the portfolio company's output, services, or capacity at market prices for at least 10 years. The selection process involves a multi-stage evaluation focusing on economic and national security alignment, the firm's investment track record, creditworthiness, and the alignment of manager incentives with the OSC mission. Key evaluation criteria include the firm's commitment to reshoring, foreign ownership restrictions, and the ability for the Department of War to direct production output during conflicts. Proposals must be submitted by November 1, 2026, and must include four specific volumes covering eligibility, investment strategy, and any proposed revisions to the summary terms and conditions. Funding is contingent upon the availability of appropriations, and the program utilizes a fee structure including a 100 basis point initial due diligence and underwriting fee and a draw fee ranging from 150 to 200 basis points.
