Abstract:

Other transactions is the term commonly used to refer to the 10 U.S.C. 2371 authority to enter into transactions other than contracts, grants or cooperative agreements. The Department currently has temporary authority to award other transactions OTs in certain circumstances for prototype projects that are directly relevant to weapons or weapon systems proposed to be acquired or developed by the Department. Other Transactions for prototype projects are acquisition instruments that generally are not subject to the federal laws and regulations governing procurement contracts. As such, they are not required to comply with the Federal Acquisition Regulation FAR, its supplements, or laws that are limited in applicability to procurement contracts.
