You've done your homework on OTAs and now you're ready to connect the dots. But how do you choose which OTA collaboration is best for your company to join?
The Army, by way of an Aviation and Missile Technology Consortium Other Transaction Authority, recently issued a request for proposals for the Future Long Range Assault Aircraft Competitive Demonstration and Risk Reduction effort.
“With a collaborative effort by our partners in industry and the Department of Defense, we will advance this strategic weapon system and fulfill a critical mission for our nation,” said Lt. Gen. L. Neil Thurgood
ATI was awarded a new Other Transaction Agreement (OTA) by the Naval Warfare Center Dahlgren Division (NSWCDD) to build and manage a naval surface technology consortium.
There are formal processes under the OTA model to ensure safety and security, fair competition, and sound stewardship of taxpayer dollars.
The flexible contracting process under OTAs allows the government and industry to refine project ideas before beginning technical work.
The National Armaments Consortium (NAC), which ATI has managed since 2009, engages its membership and facilitates teaming by offering a diverse portfolio of collaboration opportunities.
ATI used a robust recruitment strategy to strategically expand the membership of the National Spectrum Consortium.
The Other Transaction (OT) model enables open communication between government and industry.
