Learn more about the SpEC OTA at booth #1529!
The Space Enterprise Consortium (SpEC) was created in 2017 to bridge the gap between military buyers and commercial space startups and small businesses through Other Transaction Authorities (OTA). The OTA innovative contracting process allows SpEC to solicit bids from a mix of member companies including companies that have not previously done work with the Department of Defense. SSC awarded the management of the SpEC OTA to NSTXL to expedite contracting between government and industry. NSTXL is focused on building a network of innovators and creators across the most sought-after emerging technology fields. SpEC’s mission is to minimize barriers to entry for small businesses and non-traditional vendors, promote integrated research and prototyping efficiencies, and leverage partnerships to increase flexibility and agility, reduce cost, improve space defense technology, and decrease program development cycles.
Brands: SpEC is managed by National Security Technology Accelerator (NTSXL). NSTXL also manages the Strategic and Spectrum Missions Advanced Resilient Trusted Systems (S²MARTS) and S²MARTS Research OTAs.
