NSTXL (National Security Technology Accelerator)
Products
OTA-managed prototyping platform
A consortium-based platform that provides government program offices with flexible OTA contracting vehicles and members with centralized access to solicitations, teaming, and prototyping opportunities.
Microelectronics commons coordination and topic solicitation
Platform and processes to solicit technical topic proposals, coordinate microelectronics prototyping calls, and guide projects toward foundry access and integration pathways.
NSTXL OTA Contracting Platform
An agile defense acquisition and Other Transaction Authority (OTA) contracting platform designed to streamline the contracting experience, reduce barriers for non-traditional defense contractors, and accelerate the prototype award timeline.
NSTXL Membership
Membership platform providing access to exclusive defense innovation events, teaming tools, and OTAs within the NSTXL network for rapid contracting and technology acquisition.
Space Enterprise Consortium (SpEC)
An OTA Contracting Vehicle designed to support the U.S. Space Force by speeding up prototype development, engaging non-traditional organizations, and streamlining collaboration.
NSTXL Alliance
An open-source network and subscriber alert service providing real-time notifications on new Department of Defense prototype projects and contracting opportunities without requiring an upfront membership commitment.
