The NSWCPD consortium for Maritime Sustainment Technology and Innovation will engage industry and academia to develop and mature technologies in the field of Maritime Sustainment that enhance the Navy’s mission effectiveness.
UTIC
The Undersea Technology Innovation Consortium is a partnership between Government, Industry, and Academia established to facilitate collaborative, rapid development, testing and commercialization of innovative undersea and maritime technology for commercial, academic and nonprofit organizations contributing to the defense and security of our nation. The UTIC scope is aligned to Naval strategic needs and includes the following technology areas: Sensors and Sonar, Platform and Payload Integration, Undersea Warfare (USW) Combat Systems, Communications, USW Imaging, Undersea Distributed Networked Systems, Electronics/Optics/Materials, Passive Sensing, Undersea Satellites, Energy Storage and Release, Virtualization, Machine Learning, Threat Monitoring and Prediction, Cooperative Force Torpedo Defense, Undersea Warfare Analysis, Multi-Domain Fusion, Electronic Warfare, Distributed and Autonomous Sensors, USW Weapons and Autonomous Vehicles, Autonomy, Quantum Computing, Bio-Inspired Sensors, Environmental Sensing, Monitoring, and Prediction, In-Situ Energy Sources, and Multi-Dimensional Display.
CMG consortia are composed of leading companies, academic institutions and other organizations with recognized and leading expertise in the respective mission areas to form an enterprise that the Government can access directly through a single, flexible, long-term acquisition instrument. In doing so, CMG fulfills its mission of accelerating the deployment of technologies to the Warfighter and the nation in a manner consistent with the goals established by the Congress for a streamlined acquisition alternative. The result is a reduction in the Government’s procurement costs, in both dollars and time. And in the process, CMG has built a broad understanding of the technology landscape as it relates to current and future DoD capability needs.
C5
C5 is a consortium composed of leading companies and institutions in the C4ISR and cyber technology sectors.
C5 accelerates the development and deployment of new capabilities to the Warfighter through the use of Other Transaction Authority. C5 gives members an innovative and commonsense acquisition mechanism for development of new technologies and products to meet government customer requirements.
CEED
CEED is a consortium composed of leading companies and institutions in the Energy, Environmental and Demilitarization technology sectors.
Through the use of Other Transaction Authority, CEED accelerates the development and deployment of new capabilities to the Warfighter. CEED provides members an innovative and commonsense acquisition mechanism for development of new technologies and products to meet government customer requirements.
govmates is a technology scouting platform. We merge the best practices of technology and the human element to promote non-traditional defense contractors within the federal community.
The Strategic & Spectrum Missions Advanced Resilient Trusted Systems (S2MARTS) OTA
S2MARTS is the DoD’s premier rapid OT contracting vehicle for flexible acquisition in trusted microelectronics, strategic & spectrum mission, and other critical mission areas.
The Training and Readiness Accelerator (TReX) expedites development, demonstration, and delivery of prototypes to increase Warfighter readiness. With a focus on modeling, simulation, and training, TReX provides the United States Government with an agile mechanism to iterate and refine critical technologies to keep pace with ongoing and emerging challenges. By actively incorporating structured operational user feedback, TReX will identify and develop innovative solutions to inform material procurement requirements and acquisition.
TReX II
TReX II provides leading-edge modeling, simulation, and training (MS&T) solutions to increase warfighter readiness and enhance national security. TReXII offers federally-funded prototype and business opportunities to develop modeling, simulation, and training related prototypes to enhance the mission effectiveness of military personnel and the supporting platforms, systems, components, or materials proposed to be acquired or developed by the DoD.
The Space Enterprise Consortium (SpEC) was created in 2017 through the Air Force Space and Missile Systems Center. SpEC was created to bridge the cultural gap between military buyers and commercial space startups and small businesses through OTAs. The OTA’s innovative contracting process allows SpEC to solicit bids from a mix of member companies including companies that have not previously done work with the DoD. The SpEC OTAs mission is to work to:
• Minimize barriers to entry for small businesses and non-traditional vendors
• Promote integrated research and prototyping efficiencies
• Leverage partnerships to increase flexibility and agility, reduce cost, improve technology and decrease program development cycles
