DOD is expected to issue this handbook by Thanksgiving according to Executive Government.
Inside Defense also reported on the handbook and simultaneously announced that a Rapid Prototyping policy for mid-tier acquisitions is also due out in early 2019.
Personally, I am hopeful that this handbook does NOT contain sample documents. Remember the purpose of OTAs is to allow the parties to an agreement to negotiate the terms and conditions that mitigate the risks to both parties – not a one-size fits all approach that the government typically implements.Stand by to see exactly what the handbook contains.
