Office of the Secretary of Defense Other Transaction Awards
U.S. · 3,359 OT award actions

3,359 office of the secretary of defense other transaction awards, signed 2020-10-01 to 2026-09-09 — 9.6 billion dollars obligated across 501 vendors. 94.6% carry the vendor's SAM.gov point of contact and 86.5% a website.

More about this list

Each row carries the agreement, IDV or order number, signed and completion dates, obligated and non-government dollars, prototype or production, the statutory basis (nontraditional significant participation, cost sharing or exceptional circumstances), the awarding and funding office, the product and service code, the requirement description, and the vendor's UEI, CAGE code, address and phone, with a link to the FPDS record. Joined on UEI to SAM.gov registrations, SBA Small Business Search profiles, SBA PPP loan records and USAspending prime contracts. On consortium-routed OTs, FPDS names the consortium manager (for example Advanced Technology International or the National Security Technology Accelerator) as the vendor; the company performing the work is not in the government record, and these rows are marked consortia_flag = Y. Built from the Federal Procurement Data System (FPDS-NG), the government's official register of contract actions — the only public record of Other Transaction awards, which USAspending does not carry.

✓Where this data comes from

This dataset is built from the Federal Procurement Data System (FPDS-NG), the government's official register of contract actions and the only public record of Other Transaction awards, which USAspending does not carry. Every OT agreement, IDV and order since fiscal 2021 is archived page by page from the public FPDS feed and checked for completeness month by month. Each vendor is joined on its UEI to its SAM.gov registration (website, point of contact, business types), its SBA Small Business Search profile (email where it publishes one), SBA PPP loan records (2020–21 headcount) and its USAspending prime contracts. On consortium-routed OTs FPDS names the consortium manager, not the company performing the work, and those rows are marked.

Fill measured

On every row of the delivered file

Actions are published as FPDS records them. Every month of the archive must pass a page-count check before the file is built, and every build round-trips a random sample of actions against the live FPDS record and publishes nothing if any disagrees. Joined contact fields come only from public government registers and say which register filled them.

How we build and date every file: methodology.

Using ChatGPT, Claude or an API?

No setup needed. Ask ChatGPT or Claude your question about the Office of the Secretary of Defense Other Transaction Awards and give it this page: it can open https://locationlists.com/find?dataset=office-of-the-secretary-of-defense-other-transaction-awards with the filters you need and show you the count and price.

Using ChatGPT or Claude? Tell it to answer from locationlists.com/find — no account, no connector.

How assistants ask

No connector needed. Any AI assistant can answer from this site with a web link, no connector, no account: open https://locationlists.com/find with the question as query parameters.

If a question needs filtering, distance, combining lists or a price, open a /find link: either put the question itself in q=, or build the structured link. The answer does not need an API, a connector or an account.

Simplest, the question itself: https://locationlists.com/find?q=<the question in plain words>

Or set the parts yourself: https://locationlists.com/find?dataset=<slug>&state=<ST>&city=<city>&county=<county>&zip=<zip>&near=<place or zip>&radius=<miles>&where=<column>:<op>:<value>&total=<rows>

Leave out what the question does not need. Distance is radius, in straight-line miles; near can name several places separated by | to reach from any of them. To ask about several lists at once, use datasets with two or more names, or category with a kind of business. To compare two lists, add relate=nearest and the other list with b. in front of its parameters. To count by area, use areas=county (or zip, state, metro). To keep only places whose county, ZIP code, metro area or state meets a Census figure, add area_where (for example county:population>1000000); with areas, per=100000 gives counts per 100,000 residents.

Links an assistant can open, each showing how many rows match, a few preview rows and the price for just that part:

Optional: connect for repeat use or wallet payments:

Read https://locationlists.com/skill.md and follow the instructions to connect LocationLists. Then show me the Office of the Secretary of Defense Other Transaction Awards list.

Your assistant will walk you through setup and show you the price before you pay.

For developers

At 3,359 records this dataset is not sold by the row — buy the file. Without a connector, open https://locationlists.com/find?dataset=office-of-the-secretary-of-defense-other-transaction-awards. An agent connected to https://locationlists.com/mcp can still search it, read a free sample file of up to 10 rows and buy the whole file itself. How agent purchasing works

?Frequently Asked Questions

What is an Other Transaction award?

An Other Transaction (OT) is a federal agreement made outside the Federal Acquisition Regulation, mostly used by the Department of Defense to fund prototypes and follow-on production with nontraditional and commercial companies. OTs are recorded in the Federal Procurement Data System but are not published by USAspending, which is why they are hard to find.

What does one row contain?

One OT action — an agreement, IDV, order or modification — as recorded in FPDS, with the vendor's details and links.

Does it show the company doing the work on consortium OTs?

On consortium-routed OTs, FPDS names the consortium manager (for example Advanced Technology International or the National Security Technology Accelerator) as the vendor; the company performing the work is not in the government record, and these rows are marked consortia_flag = Y. The consortium's own member list, where one is published, is the next place to look.

Does it include contact details?

Yes, from public government registers joined on the vendor's UEI: the SAM.gov point of contact name for 91.8% of rows, the SAM.gov website for 77.2%, the phone on the FPDS record, and the email the vendor publishes on its SBA profile for 26.5% (mostly small businesses). Nothing is compiled from other lists.

How often is it refreshed and how is it checked?

File built on September 15, 2026. It is not on an automatic refresh schedule, so check the build date above before you buy.
