We are building the largest network of commercial innovators to take mission-critical technologies to the next level.

Regardless of your DoD experience, your technology can help advance National Security. Just last year, our network contributed to some of the most prominent government projects worth more than $900M in value. Over half of these opportunities were awarded to ‘new to defense’ organizations.

OTA: The Contracting
Vehicle Behind Government Acquisition

Other Transaction Agreements (OTAs) are designed
