The Department of Defense Manufacturing Technology program has issued a broad other transaction announcement to identify companies with new manufacturing processes and emerging technologies.
The BOTA seeks proposals on advanced manufacturing capabilities that could be readily integrated into the U.S. defense industrial base, DOD ManTech said Tuesday, noting that the government is interested in mid- or high-level technologies and prototypes that would help the DOD modernize its industrial base.
Under the program, the Defense Department seeks to increase its collaboration with capable vendors to identify, develop and advance defense manufacturing and repair processes. The effort also intends to accelerate the deployment of newly developed warfighting capabilities.
The DOD invites all sources that can meet the government’s requirements to submit a white paper or presentation. Interested parties are encouraged to submit separately if they plan to furnish multiple proposals.
Multiple awards can be expected under the BOTA but the amount of resources will be determined by the quality of received submissions and the availability of funds.
Launched on Oct. 2, the BOTA will remain open until 2027.
On Jan. 23, 2026, join the Potomac Officers Club’s 2025 Defense R&D Summit. Engage in discussions with key industry players and forge valuable connections at the summit.
