Prototyping Using Other Transactions: Case Studies for the Acquisition Community

By Lauren A. Mayer, Mark V. Arena, Frank Camm

The U.S. Department of Defense has authority to use other transactions for prototype projects (OTs) to develop prototypes outside of most federal laws and regulations governing contracts, grants, or cooperative agreements. Through literature reviews, interviews, and seven OT case studies, researchers reviewed recent U.S. Air Force experience in using this authority, identifying lessons for acquisition professionals and improvements for use.
