G2 Ops is a member of C5, a consortium of leading companies, academic institutions, and other organizations with expertise in C4ISR and cyber technology. C5 delivers an accelerated means of acquisition for the Government by its management of a single, flexible, long-term acquisition instrument.
C5 accelerates the development and deployment of new capabilities to the Warfighter through the use of Other Transaction Authority (OTA). An OTA is a cost effective and collaborative acquisition instrument that allows agencies to enter a contract with G2 Ops apart from the traditional Government contract.
G2 Ops offers its Model-Based System Engineering (MBSE) and Security Engineering services through C5’s OTA, which may be used for basic, applied, and advanced research and prototype development.
How it Works:
C5 serves as both the consortium manager and contract administrator, providing a single interface between G2 Ops and the Government. How an award works:
- At any time during the year, program managers can solicit technology solutions for their funded requirements via C5.
- The Government contacts G2 Ops and all other members through a White Paper request.
- C5 issues the request to its members; all members are eligible to reply with a compliant White Paper.
- White Papers are selected for review by the Government Program Manager, who has complete authority to choose the contractor of its choice.
