Understanding Other Transaction Agreements (OTAs)

Government Contracts attorney Jeremy Burkhart will lead a workshop on Other Transaction Agreements (OTAs). Organized by the Mississippi APEX Accelerator and Mississippi Development Authority, the presentation will describe how OTAs differ from traditional federal contracts and offer alternative pathways for companies to participate in federal innovation and technology initiatives. Jeremy will help small business owners in particular understand how the OTA process works and how to identify and evaluate OTA opportunities and solicitations, along with common participation requirements, tips for strategic partnerships with subcontractors and best practices for pursuing OTA-related projects. The workshop will equip small business owners, entrepreneurs, technology companies, and research and development firms with a foundation in these agreements that they can take to their organizations and help accelerate the next federal contracting opportunity.
