Dear Bharath,  
OpenTAP is an open source project, not a commercial product, although commercial integrations exist in products from both Keysight and their ecosystem partners. As such, there does not exist a DPA for OpenTAP itself. Key question - what does your organization do about DPAs for other open source project code in your portfolio?
