(a) While the contract will provide for the use of an LOC when it is justified under subsection 732.406-71, the LOC is a separate agreement between the contractor and FM/CMP, acting on behalf of the USAID Controller. The terms and conditions of the LOC are established by FM/CMP/GIB.
(b) In order to establish or amend an LOC, the contracting officer shall provide FM/CMP with the following information:
(1) The name of the Contractor;
(2) The official USAID contract number;
(3) The obligated amount of the contract;
(4) The budget plan code for the obligated funds;
(5) The effective date and estimated completion date.
(6) The contractor Federal Tax Identification Number.
This information should be provided in writing to FM/CMP together with a request to establish or amend an LOC as early in the negotiation cycle as possible.
(c) FM/CMP will prepare the LOC in accordance with USAID’s LOC procedures; issue or amend and maintain the LOC in accordance with its terms and USAID procedures and regulations; and provide the contracting officer(s) a copy of each LOC and any other material governing its use at the time the LOC is issued or when it is amended or modified.
