The NTDC Consortium brings together small companies, non-profits, research institutions, and other non-traditional defense contractors to solve DoD challenges in a specific technology or mission area. The involvement of non-traditional contractors gives defense program managers access to a broader range of technology experts. Because OTAs are not governed by the Federal Acquisition Regulations (FAR), they are a highly flexible acquisition tool. Each military service has authority to execute OTAs up to $250 million, and every OTA must have at least one nontraditional defense contractor participating.
