Not affiliated with the U.S. government, GSA, or SAM.gov. Not a U.S. government service. Department of Defense Other Transaction Authority (OTA) awards, prototype, research, and production agreements that bypass the FAR and never appear in USAspending, sourced from FPDS. Filter by keyword, agency, vendor, or agreement type (research, prototype, production). CRITICAL: FPDS typically names the consortium MANAGEMENT organization as awardee, not the actual performing company. GAO has confirmed DoD cannot identify the real performers from this data. Treat a named vendor as likely the consortium manager - actual performer unknown. Obligated dollars are the action delta, not the ceiling value. DoD reporting lags about 90 days. Present as information only; verify every fact against the official FPDS record before acting. Follow-ups within 30 minutes after a search ride free (up to 30 per search); otherwise one accepted call counts as one use, regardless of how many records are returned. Every record carries a direct source link (or source name and record ID) so you can verify and cite the underlying record.
