The Department of Defense (DoD) Manufacturing Technology (ManTech) office is seeking groundbreaking manufacturing processes and emerging technologies from industry leaders at mid to high readiness levels. Our goal is to enhance both commercial and defense manufacturing capabilities, driving innovation across the industrial base. With the launch of the Broad Other Transaction Announcement (OTA), we are calling for white papers from vendors that align with our mission to advance defense-relevant manufacturing. Through Capabilities Focus Areas (CFAs), the ManTech office will initiate data calls, each open for 45 days. For submissions outside of CFA calls, vendors may still submit white papers to initiate a non-funded information exchange agreement, opening doors for collaboration and knowledge sharing. Learn more and seize this opportunity to drive innovation in our industrial base. Together, let’s shape the future of manufacturing! https://lnkd.in/eKnQxxEz #Innovation #ManufacturingTechnology #DoD #ManTech #EmergingTech #DefenseIndustry #ManufacturingInnovation #OTACall
