Built for the Navy, Powered by Industry
NASC was created to help the Navy tap into commercial innovation while giving industry an easier path to participate in defense programs.
Fast, Flexible, Focused
Our OTA processes accelerate project awards and give members the flexibility to shape solutions that meet Navy objectives while reducing barriers to entry.
Support at Every Step
From solicitation to post-award, our team provides hands-on guidance to help members respond effectively, manage projects, and deliver lasting results.
Our OTA
Through its OTA with the Navy, NASC gives members a streamlined way to compete for and execute Government-funded projects. The OTA model enables faster awards, flexible terms, and direct collaboration between innovators and program offices.
NASC OTA
NASC helps streamline the acquisition process through Other Transaction Authority (OTA), connecting members directly with the Navy for rapid technology development and deployment. The OTA process accelerates timelines, reduces red tape, and ensures that mission-critical technologies are delivered on time to meet the Navy’s evolving requirements.
