Definitions and Requirements for Other Transactions Under Title 10, United States Code, Section 2371b (Nov 20, 2018)
Summary
An Office of the Secretary of Defense policy memorandum dated November 20, 2018, 'Definitions and Requirements for Other Transactions Under Title 10, United States Code, Section 2371b,' signed by Under Secretaries Ellen M. Lord (A&S) and Michael D. Griffin (R&E). It establishes direction for transitioning prototype OTs to follow-on production OTs by defining 'prototype project' (proof of concept, pilot, novel application of commercial technologies for defense purposes, agile development, etc., including business processes), addressing the advance-notice requirement for follow-on production, and defining 'successful completion' as a precondition for a follow-on production OT. It is a foundational reference on prototype-OT scope and follow-on production under 2371b.
