Government Contract Types

Federal and state governments have a complex vocabulary that can seem like a different language. However, understanding the sea of acronyms and contract types is essential for all businesses looking to navigate the sea of government contracting.

In the section known at "Contract Types," Government Contractors wants to summarize and provide resources around all the different contract vehicles federal and state governments use to acquire the products and services they need.

Contract Profile: Other Transaction Authority (OTA) Contracts Gaining Momentum

These are some of the questions being asked.

Our GovCon Thought Leaders look to tackle the issue of OTAs in this month's issue.
