Other Transaction Authority (OTA) rights were first granted to NASA in 1958 to increase innovation and speed of the space agency mission by providing an avenue for non-traditional contractors to participate in government contracting.

Excellent introduction to this area. Federal Acquisition Process is so complex. It is a great course to show that there are other options for doing business with the Federal Government. I will use materials and references to do further research about OTA.
Great presentation on a topic of government procurement that is not often discussed.
Very informative. I really appreciated the speaker's attention to background information as well as practical application.
Thanks!
I really loved the practical focus in this CLE.
