Demystifying Procurement: The Rise of Other Transactions with Stan Soloway
Show Notes

For those outside of the acquisitions community, the practices, policies and processes of federal procurement can seem quite impenetrable. But given that the US Government spent more than $665 billion on contracts in 2020, it is not a subject to be ignored.

To that end, The Buzz with ACT-IAC  presents: Demystifying Procurement - a series designed to take you through the ins and outs of this complex, but vital, topic.

In this episode, Stan Soloway, President and CEO of Celero Strategies, shares his insights on a unique aspect of federal procurement - other transaction authorities (OTA's).  He recently co-authored a report exploring where OTA's fit into the Federal acquisitions picture and how their use has evolved in recent years.

Stan's Report: "Other Transactions Authorities: After 60 Years, Hitting Their Stride or Hitting The Wall?”
