OT Intelligence & Information Systems Prototypes

REQUEST FOR INFORMATION NOTICE: USSOCOM is releasing this special notice to inform interested parties about the Government's interest in establishing an Other Transaction Authority (OTA) Agreement under 10 U.S.C. 2371B Section 815 with an eligible entity or group of entities, to include non-traditional defense contractors, industry, academic, non-profit, and not-for-profit entities, for advanced development efforts to support intelligence and information systems technology objectives in enhancing the mission effectiveness of Special Operations Forces (SOF) warfighters. An OTA will provide a faster and more flexible way of collaborating on unconventional and rapidly evolving Research and Development (R&D) software engineering prototypes from commercial and non-traditional entities who may be unwilling or unable to comply with the Government's procurement regulations. The goal is to provide USSOCOM access to cutting-edge technologies with a faster product development, tailoring and transition cycle for delivering SOF-peculiar analysis, exploitation, and dissemination capabilities.
