DISA has not exercised this authority yet given that it has had to take the time to install processes in place.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cOne of the challenges with OTA is we actually have to build our workforce to understand how to use this capability, this contracting. We have to think differently and train to do this,\u201d Rear Adm. Nancy Norton, DISA\u2019s vice director, said during a panel discussion Oct. 24 at the annual MilCom conference in Baltimore, Md., hosted by AFCEA.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWe\u2019re building up that contingent within DISA to be able to understand how to most flex this capability and authority that we have now. But we\u2019re very excited about it.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Norton told C4ISRNET following the panel that the organization is in the process of establishing its own internal processes and expects to flex this authority next quarter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In the past, DISA would have to partner with the Defense Innovation Unit-Experimental or the Army to leverage these special buying powers on projects they wanted to fund quickly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">[<a href=\"https:\/\/www.c4isrnet.com\/disa\/2017\/03\/02\/can-industry-teamwork-diux-approach-beat-slow-acquisition\/\"><i>Can industry teamwork, DIUx approach beat slow acquisition?<\/i><\/a>]<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Norton also told C4ISRNET it\u2019s unclear how they might use this new contracting vehicle. They could use it for follow-ons for rapid prototypes they ran through DIUx or the Army, such as a spectrum sharing system prototype, an assured identity prototype, a mobile endpoint security for DoD mobility and a continuous authentication prototype. Or they might use it for something completely new.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This new authority has the potential to save DISA money in the long term as well, Norton added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cIf we have something that we want to do and we already had that in our budget, then we now have the flexibility to use different contracting vehicles that will accelerate the process, potentially allow for prototyping that evolves into a longer term capability,\u201d she told C4ISRNET.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cAnd in some cases that may actually save us money, because if we do it traditionally we either have to wait for a long time until we are very clear on what our requirements are and can establish that or we contract for a prototype and then we POM and wait for the final contract.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The traditional acquisition and Program Objective Memorandums process tends to stretch out, meaning they need to have personnel dedicated on the contract or in the program office. If this process was accelerated, they could be doing something else once a contract vehicle in place.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThere is potential to save us money in addition to the sources that contracting agencies \u2014 we end up with companies that are innovative that have completely new ways of approaching this that might be a lot cheaper than what some of the traditional defense contractors come up with,\u201d Norton said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Defense Information Systems Agency has been granted its own Other Transaction
