This award reflects ONR's broader engagement with Altair as a trusted federal contractor specializing in software licenses and technical support services. Altair has secured over 150 prime federal contract awards since 2021, with significant demand from Department of Defense entities including the Naval Sea Systems Command, Air Force Research Laboratory, and Naval Air Warfare Center, as well as civilian agencies such as NASA and the National Institute of Standards and Technology. Contracts are typically structured as firm fixed-price purchase orders for software licensing and maintenance renewals, often awarded on a sole-source basis given Altair's proprietary software position. The company's specialized engineering tools enable federal agencies to conduct complex analysis critical to research, development, and modernization efforts.
