Army xTech Program

The xTech Program operates prize competitions with Army and DoD partners, sponsored by the Assistant Secretary of the Army for Acquisition, Logistics and Technology (ASA(ALT)). xTech’s goal is to help small and nontraditional businesses partner with the army by breaking down barriers and cutting out the bureaucratic processes.

xTech organizes several competitions every year, including an open-topic competition, xTechSearch.
