Enterprise Licensing Agreements Raise Eyebrows in Defense Community
The US Army has awarded Anduril a 10-year, $20 billion contract, the latest example of an Enterprise Licensing Agreement, a flexible and centralized contracting approach. The service has awarded 14 such contracts in the last eight months, consolidating 118 separate contracts and reducing the total number of contracts by 88 percent. According to an Army article, the approach aims to improve transparency and efficiency, but experts warn of potential risks to innovation and stability. The contract was first reported by Breaking Defense.
