New to Working with the DoD? Expand Your Business into the Defense Market

With limited resources and defense contracting experience, there are many roadblocks for non-traditional or smaller organizations that are interested in entering the defense market. NSTXL eliminates these barriers and gives your company a streamlined path to win more business.


Eliminate the Barriers of

DoD Contracting

NSXTL's agile acquisition platform was built so you can quickly enter the market without being an expert in the defense sector or defense aquisition process. Our team is readily available to help throughout each phase of the solicitation process and dedicated to streamlining the contracting experience. NSTXL's average submission to award timeline is just over 100 days compared to 12 to 24 months with traditional defense contracting. 

Expand Your Government Customer Footprint

One of the toughest obstacles when looking to expand into the defense sector is getting government exposure. NSTXL works across all branches of the DoD and throughout some of its most prominent divisions including the Space and Missile Systems Center (SMC), the Naval Surface Warfare Center (NSWC) - Crane Division, and the U.S. Army PEO STRI.

Get Exposure to Emerging Growth Markets  

Multi-award contracting is only growing in popularity and as defense spending increases, NSTXL's opportunity pipeline is rapidly expanding with it.

In the last year, our members were awarded 48 contracts worth a potential of $559 million and submitted solutions across more than 64 technology areas including Microelectronics Development, Quantum Computing, Beyond Earth, Artificial Intelligence, and Hypersonics.


Understanding the Vehicle that Makes Mission Possible

Other Transaction Authorities (OTAs) are run by organizations like NSTXL who release opportunities to their membership communities on behalf of the U.S. Department of Defense (DoD). Designed as an alternative to traditional contracting vehicles, OTAs help fast-track research initiatives and prototype innovation.

Experience the Network Without the Upfront Investment

NSTXL was designed as an open-source network, removing traditional limitations many consortium managers practice, such as limiting visibility into open opportunities.
