CMTC works closely with the Navy’s acquisition community while teaming with industry to identify composite and manufacturing technology opportunities that impact efficiency, both with respect to cost and time.
CMTC projects are specifically focused on Navy platforms. Industry identifies potential projects and submits those
project ideas in the form of an issue paper. Projects are selected after obtaining input from Navy Program Offices.
This approach allows CMTC to concentrate on projects that are important to both the Navy and the DoD manufacturing industry that build and repair the Navy’s platforms.
CMTC’s preferred approach to contracting with the industry is to engage prospective providers early in the process to agree on the contract terms and conditions of a Base Task Order Agreement.
By getting a Base Agreement in place ahead of time, individual Task Orders can be issued
promptly upon ONR’s approval of specific projects, and project work can begin without delay.
