Pentagon's use of Other Transaction Authority draws calls for congressional action
Original: The Pentagon has gone too far in using the Other Transaction Authority. Congress should act.
The Pentagon is being criticized for overextending its use of the Other Transaction Authority, a legal mechanism that allows defense agencies to award contracts outside traditional federal procurement rules. An opinion piece argues the Department of Defense has gone too far in relying on this authority and says Congress should step in to rein it in through legislation.
Why now: Growing reliance on OTA contracts for defense procurement is raising concerns in Washington about oversight and the limits of executive contracting power.
