APG S3CoE FY19 Q~3 Symposium Topic: Other Transaction Agreements (OTAs)

The Army Contracting Command at Aberdeen Proving Ground hosted the Other Transaction Agreements (OTAs) Symposium on April 10, 2019, aimed at providing informational support to both government and industry participants regarding OTAs. This event was organized by the Source Selection Support Center of Excellence (S3CoE) and included a summary and presentation slides that detailed key aspects of OTAs. It was intended solely as an informational session and was not a formal solicitation for proposals, nor did it guarantee any current or future contracts. Participation in the symposium was voluntary, with no reimbursement provided for expenses incurred by attendees. The announcement is aligned with the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) guidelines, emphasizing transparency and open communication between the Army and potential industry partners. The contract posting, identified as ACC-APG-S3CoE-FY19-03 under NAICS code 541990, was managed by the Department of Defense office located in Aberdeen Proving Ground, Maryland. Points of contact for the event included Vernon C. Cooper and Monique N. Fields, both accessible via email and phone. The symposium served as a platform to educate and enhance understanding of OTAs without obligating participants to submit proposals or commit to any contracting action.
