Back in November, we announced the deployment of the first in a series of mythbusting Other Transaction mythbusting micro-videos. More have been posted, bringing the total available to nine. They include:

• Other Transaction Mythbusting Video Series: Other Transactions are New and Have Been Rarely Used
• Other Transaction Mythbusting Video Series: Other Transactions will always be Faster to Award
• Other Transaction Mythbusting Video Series: The Main Goal and Purpose Behind OTs is that they are Faster to Award
• Other Transaction Mythbusting Video Series: There is Only One Type of Other Transaction Available to DoD
• Other Transaction Mythbusting Video Series: You Can Use Other Transactions For Any Acquisition
• Other Transaction Mythbusting Video Series: Since an OT is termed an “Agreement”, it is not Considered to be a Contract
• Other Transaction Mythbusting Video Series: In Order to Use an OT, You Must Award Your Agreement Through a Consortia
• Other Transaction Mythbusting Video Series: None of the Federal Statutes or Regulations Apply to Other Transactions
• Other Transaction Mythbusting Video Series: Other Transaction authorities can only use RDT&E appropriations

Planned future OT mythbuster video topics include: "Since the Competition in Contracting Act (CICA) Doesn’t Apply to OTs, Competition and Fairness are not a Consideration" and "Anyone in DoD can Award an OT."
