NSWCPD requires innovative sustainment technological solutions to address current and future security threats in maritime environments. This Request for Consortium Agreement (RCA) is a solicitation for proposals to organize and operate the Maritime Sustainment Technology and Innovation Consortium (MSTIC) under the authority of Section 815 of the Fiscal Year (FY) 2016 National Defense Authorization Act, codified in 10 U.S.C. - 2371b, Other Transaction Authority for Prototype Projects. The appropriate delegation of authority to enter into each prototype project award will be implemented accordingly. The Other Transaction (OT) Authority 10 U.S.C. - 2371b allows the DoD to - carry out prototype projects that are directly relevant to enhancing the mission effectiveness of military personnel and the supporting platforms, systems, components or materials proposed to be carried out by the DoD, or to improvement of platforms, systems, components, or materials in use by the armed forces. Constant innovation and rapid technology advances are occurring throughout the world. Partnerships with commercial Industry, the civil maritime sector, academia, non-profits, and others will be used to leverage these approaches and increase flexibility and agility, reduce cost, improve technology and capability insertion, and decrease program development cycles. The establishment of an Other Transaction Agreement (OTA) offers an alternative to Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) based acquisitions. The Consortium approach intended with this RCA will provide the Government maximum collaboration between Industry and the Government to facilitate and encourage participation from non-traditional Defense Contractors, providing access to critical technology innovations that are not always available or accessible through other Government procurement methods. NSWCPD is looking to identify, shape, and secure innovative sustainment solutions to effectively address current and future security threats in maritime environments. NSWCPD intends to competitively establish a Base OTA with a Consortium that will, through its members, conduct individual and collaborative efforts to carry out prototype projects directly relevant to the technology concept areas.
