The Office of Naval Research awarded a $5,632.50 firm fixed-price purchase order to Altair Engineering Inc. for software renewal on December 1, 2015, with completion by August 31, 2016. This contract, placed with Altair's headquarters division in Troy, Michigan, represents a renewal of software licensing and maintenance services. No set-aside designation was applied to this award, consistent with Altair's classification as a large business entity. The contract falls within Altair's typical engagement pattern with the Department of Defense, where the company provides computational science and engineering software solutions including its proprietary HyperWorks, FEKO, and OptiStruct platforms that support advanced modeling, simulation, and optimization capabilities.
This award is representative of Altair Engineering's substantial federal contracting portfolio, which has generated over 150 prime contract awards exceeding $12 million since 2021, primarily structured as firm fixed-price purchase orders for software licensing and maintenance renewals. The Office of Naval Research is among Altair's primary federal customers within the Department of Defense, along with other major DoD entities including Naval Sea Systems Command, Air Force Research Laboratory, and Army Materiel Command. Altair's software solutions enable sophisticated engineering analysis in computational fluid dynamics, finite element analysis, and design optimization—capabilities essential to naval research and development initiatives. Many of Altair's contract awards are sole-source acquisitions, reflecting the company's proprietary position as the exclusive provider of specialized software tools required by federal agencies.
