Overview (Program Summary)
A program hosted by:
ACC National Capital RegionThe Department of Defense (DoD) continues its efforts to leverage other transaction (OT) authority under 10 U.S.C. § 4022 to fund prototype projects covering a wide variety of DoD needs. This presentation will examine OT projects awarded, through consortia, broad agency announcements, and commercial solutions openings.
The panel will also discuss whether DoD is maximizing the flexibility that OTs offer to both it and contractors and how its frequent insistence on using standard terms reserved for procurement contracts is making it harder for the parties to negotiate OTs and discouraging companies, especially small businesses and companies primarily selling to nongovernmental entities, from doing business with DoD.
Finally, the panel will highlight OT terms that often require special attention, including, for example, those pertaining to intellectual property.
Presented by Jon Baker, Partner and Michelle Coleman, Counsel at Crowell & Moring, Michelle Crawford, Vice President, Corporate Counsel and Compliance Officer for Advanced Technology International (ATI).
