UNCLASSIFIED Air Force Acquisition Culture Shift 13 Jun 2018 Air Force Guidance for Rapid Acquisition Activities from SAF/AQ Dr. William Roper “…make rapid Acquisition out new Air Force Standard…” Rapid Acquisition Activities Guidance: 1. 4. 1 …Contracting officers are encouraged to be aggressive using vehicle types, incentives, and penalties to encourage timeliness. ” Dr. Roper encouraged the use of Other Transaction Authority contract vehicles UNCLASSIFIED 15
UNCLASSIFIED Other Transaction Authority(OTA) Other Transactions legally binding instruments that is not standard procurement contract Not generally subject to the laws and regulations governing contracts, grants, or cooperative agreements Generally used on research and prototype projects Introduced to DOD in 1989, not widely used, however DOD entities are starting to use it now UNCLASSIFIED 16
UNCLASSIFIED Why OTA? Acquisition Agility: OTA empowers Do. D to structure business arrangements to specific needs and circumstances Access to Innovation: The vast majority of American industry does not want to do business with the government. OTAs can limit or eliminate those barriers to participation Tech Transition: OTA provides a streamlined and effective means to transition from Research and Development to production UNCLASSIFIED 17
UNCLASSIFIED When to Use OTA may be used for basic, applied and advanced research, and prototype projects: Basic, applied, and advanced research For prototype projects directly relevant to: Enhancing mission effectiveness of military personnel and the supporting platforms, systems, components, or materials proposed to be acquired or developed; or Improvement of platforms, systems, components, or materials in use by the armed forces UNCLASSIFIED 18
UNCLASSIFIED Who is eligible for an OTA? Any company may participate in an OT, but there are some additional conditions for traditional defense contractors OTs are to be competed to the maximum extent practicable, but standard competition processes are not necessary OTs may not be protested under FAR-based criteria Any small business, non-traditional defense contractor, or partnership thereof may receive an OT award without restriction Non-traditional defense contractors are those that are not performing, and have not performed for at least one year from the time of a solicitation, work for Do. D that is subject to full coverage under government cost accounting standards Commercial divisions of traditional defense contractors may be considered non-traditional under OTA UNCLASSIFIED 19
UNCLASSIFIED Air Force Acquisition Culture Shift (Revisited) Air Force has seen some success with OTA Project Kessel Run This is new process which has not been fully implemented within SMXG yet SMXG is pushing to find the right areas where OTAs could meet requirements SMXG working to overcome other barriers such as being limited to on base computer networks.
