### Project 893 — Office of Strategic Capital (OSC)

The Office of Strategic Capital's (OSC) mission is to attract and scale capital in technology and assets that support national security. Specifically, the OSC employs unique Title 10 federal credit authorities and appropriations to crowd investment through loans, loan guarantees, and technical assistance, efficiently using taxpayer dollars that support Department of War needs. Since its authorization, the OSC has begun developing and rapidly deploying new financial products to accelerate private investment in the industrial base across Covered Technology Categories prescribed by Congress. These tools will crowd capital to secure critical supply chains and rebuild the industrial base, enhancing the U.S. competitive advantage. The FY 2027 President's Budget request supports the creation of new financial products to address a range of priorities, including greenfield projects, project finance, acquisition capital, investment fund subscription lines, and fund-level leverage to increase assets under management. These strategic capital solutions will enable the office to address key Presidential and Departmental priorities such as critical minerals, shipbuilding, infrastructure, and U.S. supply chain chokepoints.
