HISTORICALLY SUPPORTING THE WARFIGHTER

LEAD is the Army’s premier professional organization in Air, Missile and Space systems, supporting the Soldier in the field and ensuring mission success.

From the NIKE to the HAWK to the PATRIOT and into the future…

• Technologies, and technological-based companies, advance so rapidly that it can be difficult to contractually engage, collaborate, and do business with high-tech companies.

• The OT authorities were created to give us the flexibility necessary to adopt and incorporate business practices that reflect commercial industry standards and best practices into our award instruments.

• When leveraged appropriately, OTs can provide access to state-of-the-art technology solutions from traditional and non-traditional defense contractors (NDCs).

• OTs can help foster new relationships and practices involving traditional and NDCs, especially those that may not be interested in entering into FAR-based contracts with the DoD.

PURPOSE OF OTHER TRANSACTIONS

• 1958 – Underlying concept of OTs around for more than 60 years, beginning with the National Aeronautics and Space Act of 1958.

• 1989 – Congress codified 10 U.S.C.§2371, providing the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA), and later others within DoD, the authority to enter Research OTs.

• 1993 – §2371 amended to expand the original OT authority and to allow DARPA, and later others within DoD, to carry out OTs for “prototype projects.”

• 2015 – OT for prototype authority made permanent and codified at§2371b.

• 2021 – FY2022 NDAA renumbered §§2371/2371b to §§4021/4022.

• 2023 – FY2023 NDAA added definition of “prototype project”; temporary authority for a pilot program for new construction techniques or technologies to improve military installations or facilities.

HISTORY OF OTHER TRANSACTIONS

10 U.S.C.§4022(i) - Pilot authority for use of other transactions for installation or facility prototyping: may carry out prototype projects that are directly relevant to enhancing the ability of the Department of Defense to prototype the design, development, or demonstration of new construction techniques or technologies to improve military installations or facilities

Limits –

• Not more than two prototype projects may be carried out per fiscal year

• The aggregate value of all transactions may not exceed $300M

• The pilot program sunsets 30 September 2025

OTHER TRANSACTIONS FOR MILITARY

CONSTRUCTION

10 U.S.C. §4022(e) defines the term “prototype project” as a project that addresses –

(A) a proof of concept, model, or process, including a business process;

(B) reverse engineering to address obsolescence;

(C) a pilot or novel application of commercial technologies for defense purposes;

(D) agile development activity;

(E) the creation, design, development, or demonstration of operational utility; or

(F) any combination of subparagraphs (A) through (E).

WHAT IS A PROTOTYPE?

• Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR)-based procurement contracts

• Grants

• Cooperative Agreements

• Cooperative Research and Development Agreements (CRADAs)

• Subject to the FAR or its supplements (DFARS, AFARS) or the Grants and Agreements Regulations (DODGARS)

• Subject to the Competition in Contracting Act (CICA)

• Subject to the procurement protest process*

• Subject to the Contracts Disputes Act**

An other transaction agreement is a legally binding contract.

OTHER TRANSACTIONS ARE NOT…

• Specific requirements within 10 U.S.C.§4021 and§4022

• Laws of general applicability (e.g., Civil Rights Act)

• Laws that apply to anyone doing business in the United States (e.g., environmental laws)

• Criminal laws (e.g., Title 18)

• Federal fiscal law

• Procurement Integrity Act (Prototype OTs)

• If you’re building a building – general “building a building” laws (e.g, Davis-Bacon

Act, Miller Act, Buy American Act)

WHAT DOES APPLY TO OTHER TRANSACTIONS?

One of the following conditions need to be met to qualify:

1. Non-traditional defense contractor or nonprofit research institution

2. All are Small Businesses

3. At least one third of total cost is paid by sources other than the Federal

Government, or;

4. Senior Procurement Executive (SPE) for the agency justifies the use in writing.

What is a non-traditional defense contractor?

An entity that is not currently performing and has not performed, for at least the one-year period preceding the solicitation of sources by DoD for the procurement or transaction, any contract or subcontract for the DoD that is subject to full coverage under the cost accounting standards (CAS) prescribed pursuant to section 1502 of title 41 and the regulations implementing such section (see 10 U.S.C. §3014)

15COMMERCIAL SOLUTIONS OPENING (CSO)

PROCESS

USE OF A CONSORTIUM

10 U.S.C. §4022 neither defines nor limits the types or uses of consortia with respect to OTs. Agreement Officers have broad discretion to leverage consortia in using the authority of 10 U.S.C. §4022.

Consortium – a relationship between a government sponsor and a collection of traditional and non-traditional vendors, non-profit organizations, and academia aligned to a technology domain area that may be managed by a single entity or consortium member…

Promote collaboration, gain exposure and access to a variety of potential performers, facilitate adoption of efficient business practices, and obtain access to a ready network of suppliers…
