Prototype Other Transaction Awards
U.S. Location Dataset // 35,136

35,136 prototype other transaction awards, signed 2020-10-01 to 2026-09-09 — 89.8 billion dollars obligated across 2,738 vendors. 91.4% carry the vendor's SAM.gov point of contact and 76.9% a website. 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.

102Data Fields

CSVFormat

All 35,136 records, as published — the complete set rather than a sample. That matters most for coverage and gap questions: put together the same list from partial searches and every location you miss reads as a gap that is not there, so the answer is wrong rather than merely late. Assembling the U.S.-wide coverage by hand also means one query per area against sources that cap what they return per search.

☆Who uses this data

Defense Tech & GovCon Business Development

Who is winning prototype and production OTs, from which service and office, and for what — the non-FAR market most contract databases miss.

Investors & Market Analysts

OT dollars by vendor, agency, prototype versus production and cost share, joinable to prime contracts on UEI.

Consortium Members & Primes

Every consortium-routed award and the managers behind them, and every nontraditional vendor with a contact.

Policy & Oversight Research

The statutory basis (nontraditional participation, cost sharing, exceptional circumstances) and competition extent on every action.

✓Data quality & methodology

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.

Monthly

Refresh frequency

Deduplicated

One row per OT action (agency + PIID + modification + referenced IDV + transaction number); one row per vendor UEI for the vendor file

Validated

Format checks on all fields

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.

The percentage is how much of the file carries that field, measured on the delivered CSV rather than estimated. 12 of 102 fields are populated on under half the rows (transaction_number, referenced_idv_piid, referenced_idv_agency_id, primary_consortia_location, vendor_legal_name, email, …). Every row always carries the identifiers and the full address.

?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?

Monthly. Every page of the FPDS OT record is archived and checked for completeness month by month, and each build round-trips a random sample of actions against the live FPDS record, publishing nothing if any disagrees.
