57Statement A: Approved for Public Release. Distribution is unlimited (10 August 2018).

Definitions of Prototype

▼ A prototype project can generally be described as a preliminary pilot, test, evaluation, demonstration, or agile development activity used to evaluate the technical or manufacturing feasibility or military utility of a particular technology, process, concept, end item, effect or other discrete feature

▼ Prototype projects may include systems, subsystems, components, materials, methodology, technology or processes

58Statement A: Approved for Public Release. Distribution is unlimited (10 August 2018).

Definitions of Prototype

▼ A prototype project may involve: a proof of concept a pilot a novel application of commercial technologies for defense

purposes a creation, design, development, demonstration of technical or

operational utility; or combinations of the foregoing, related to a prototype

▼ The quantity should generally be limited to that needed to prove technical or manufacturing feasibility or evaluate military utility

59Statement A: Approved for Public Release. Distribution is unlimited (10 August 2018).

Definitions

▼ "Other Transaction for Prototype Projects” Authorized by 10 U.S.C. § 2371b for prototype projects directly relevant to enhancing

the mission effectiveness of military personnel and the supporting platforms, systems, components, or materials proposed to be acquired or developed by the DoD, or for the improvement of platforms, systems, components, or materials in use by the armed forces

▼ “Prototype” A physical or virtual model used to evaluate the technical or manufacturing feasibility or

military utility. − The quantity developed should be limited to that needed to prove technical or

manufacturing feasibility or evaluate military utility− In general, Research, Development, Test & Evaluation (RDT&E) appropriations will

be appropriate for OT prototype projects

▼ “Innovative”1) any new technology, process, or method, including research and development; or2) any new application of an existing technology, process, or method

60Statement A: Approved for Public Release. Distribution is unlimited (10 August 2018).

Definitions (Cont’d)

▼ “Nontraditional Defense Contractor” An entity that is not currently performing and has not performed, for at least the one-year period

preceding the solicitation of sources by the DoD for the procurement or transaction, any contract or subcontract for the DoD that is subject to full coverage under the cost accounting standards (CAS) prescribed pursuant to Section 1502 of title 41 and the regulations implementing such section

In other words:− A company who has not performed significant development work for the Government in the

previous year− Companies whose sales to DoD are almost exclusively commercial products will often count as

a nontraditional contractor. − Each company should know whether or not it is a nontraditional based on the statutory definition

▼ “Key Participant” A business unit that makes a significant contribution to the prototype project, such as by:

− Supplying new key technology or products, − Accomplishing a significant amount of the effort, or in some other way − Causing a material reduction in the cost or schedule or increase in performance

White Paper Evaluation Criteria Relevance

Did the response address a potential solution or prototype concept for the technology need identified in the problem statement.

• Addresses the need

Can the potential solution be implemented in a DoD environment

• Not all commercial applications can be used in a DoD environment

Is it feasible that the company can produce the prototype 

• Does the Consortium Member had experience

• Determines if the concept/prototype can to be duplicated for application in the Fleet

Does the prototype provide innovation • Does the prototype advance technology to provide a capability improvement

Proposal Evaluation Criteria Relevance

Is the Prototype Affordable • The government has to be able to afford the prototype

Note: Criteria as subject to change based on need

Consortium Overview

IWRP Mission

Our mission is to foster collaboration between Government, Industry and Academia to identify, develop and demonstrate the enabling technologies necessary to enhance the Navy and Marine Corps mission effectiveness in the field of Information Warfare.

68

Consortium OTA Basics

An “enterprise partnership” between theGovernment and a consortium of technologydevelopers/providers in a specific domain where….

The “Government” partner can be a single sponsor (programexecutive officer) or multiple sponsors coordinated through a leadagency

The “Consortium” partner is a group of for-profit, not-for-profit,universities and other academic research organizations havingcompetence in the technical domain of interest

The parties are connected through a binding “contract- like” instrument called an “Other Transaction” thatoperates outside the normal Federal AcquisitionRegulations (FAR)
