MilTech is a Partnership Intermediary established in 2004 as a collaboration between Montana State University and the Office of the Secretary of Defense. Partnership Intermediaries are State or local government entities that work with the DOD and other federal agencies to facilitate technology transfer and commercialization activities. Government organizations that qualify as Labs, as defined in Title 15 U.S.C. 3710a, can work with a PIA to improve their technology transition efforts. In 2019 MilTech expanded its Partnership Intermediary role to include the Department of Homeland Security. We solve problems brought to us by U.S. government organizations and assist with transitioning technology in and out of government labs.
MilTech is an authorized Nationwide Government Partnership Intermediary that helps bring innovative technology to the U.S. government quickly, reliably, and cost-effectively. MilTech, a research program of Montana State University, meets the requirements to enter into Partnership Intermediary Agreements with the U.S. Government as specified in Title 15 U.S.C. 3715 and Title 10 U.S.C. 4124. MilTech currently has two active PIAs.
“The committee recognizes that Partnership Intermediary Agreements (PIAs), as defined in section 3715 of title 15, United States Code, have been useful tools for the Department of Defense to engage with and leverage small and non-traditional businesses. As the Department continues to expand its efforts to seek out, assess, and engage non-traditional small business vendors in the Department of Defense’s development and acquisition efforts, the committee believes that PIAs could be more effectively used as a tool for engaging this community. … The committee encourages the Department to examine new and innovative ways to use PIAs, such as providing technology assessments or design reviews to understand manufacturability, fitness for use, material availability, and other assessments that can reduce development cycle times.”
