The President may sell design and construction services to any

dependable undertaking (1) to pay the full amount of such contract which
will assure the United States Government against any loss on the
contract, and (2) to make funds available in such amounts and at such
time as may be required to meet the payments required by the contract
and any damages and costs that may accrue from the cancellation of such
contract, in advance of the time such payments, damages, or costs are
