Other Transaction Agreement FA24012590010

The U.S. Air Force awarded MTI Systems, Inc., a woman-owned small business based in Lothian, Maryland, an Other Transaction Agreement (OTA) valued at $1.49M for the Demonstration of Advanced Space Data Transport Multi-Network Orchestration Capability. The contract, awarded on August 8, 2025, is scheduled for completion by March 20, 2026, and will be performed at MTI Systems' Lothian, MD headquarters. This award reflects the Air Force's investment in advanced space communications and networking technologies, which align with the service branch's modernization efforts in space operations and multi-domain command and control systems.

MTI Systems brings substantial relevant experience to this effort, having successfully executed multiple contracts with the Air Force Research Laboratory, Space Development Agency, and NASA focused on satellite communications, software-defined networking, and space communication systems. As an SBA-certified women-owned small business, the company qualifies under federal small business contracting priorities. The OTA contract vehicle, which differs from traditional fixed-price or cost-reimbursable arrangements, provides flexibility for technology demonstration and development activities characteristic of advanced research initiatives. No set-aside designation was applied to this particular award.
