AI Contract Overview
The U.S. Space Force is inviting industry partners, particularly general contractors, to an Industry Day focused on transforming construction contracting through newly granted authorities under 10 U.S.C. § 2808a, including Other Transaction Authority. The goal is not to replace existing tools like Multiple Award Construction Contracts but to enhance speed and flexibility in delivering critical infrastructure by partnering with industry to co-develop better methods. Attendees will gain direct insight from the Senior Contracting Official on the commitment to fairness, transparency, and collaboration, while also having the chance to share commercial best practices that can accelerate the transition from concept to capability. The event will clarify what Construction OTAs are and are not, ensuring industry understands how these tools integrate within the broader acquisition framework. The event is scheduled for September 14, 2026, at the Innovation Hub in Colorado Springs, Colorado, with a general session from 0900 to 1200 and optional one-on-one meetings from 1300 to 1400, also available via Microsoft Teams. Participation is limited to two representatives per company and requires registration by August 31, 2026. This gathering is designed as a two-way dialogue, where industry can inform government processes and the government can explain its intent to modernize without reducing competition. Primary contact for inquiries is Lt Col Hugh Williams, with additional support from Capt Abby Doorn, and all interested parties are encouraged to register through the official form to secure participation.

Full Description
Industry teammates, the Senior Contracting Official (SCO) for Operational and Enterprise Space Contracting invites you to a pivotal event discussing the future of construction in the U.S. Space Force. We are creating a forum to hear industry concerns and clarify the purpose of these new authorities to move faster, not to limit competition or replace valuable tools like Multiple Award Construction Contracts (MACCs). We have been granted new, flexible authorities for construction contracting, including Other Transaction Authority (OTA) under 10 U.S.C. § 2808a, and we want to partner with you to redefine how we build for the future.
Join Us To:
- Hear directly from the SCO on the commitment to a fair, transparent, and collaborative construction process.
- Understand the New Authorities - A clear breakdown of what Construction OTAs are (and what they aren't), the 2808a authority, and how these tools fit into the broader acquisition landscape.
- Teach Us - This is an opportunity for industry to educate the government on commercial construction best practices and innovative methods to go from concept to capability – faster.
