Alta Data Technologies LLC

Alta Data Technologies LLC, a small business manufacturer based in Rio Rancho, New Mexico, supplies commercial off-the-shelf data bus interface products and Ethernet networking equipment to the Department of Defense, NASA, and other federal agencies as a prime contractor (80% of recent awards) and subcontractor to major defense primes. The company is an LLC structured as a for-profit manufacturer of goods with no SBA certifications noted; it competes full-and-open across its prime footprint, though two recent awards carry Total Small Business set-aside designations.

Alta Data's capability portfolio centers on MIL-STD-1553 interface cards, ARINC 429/717 converters, Ethernet appliances, PCI and PCI Express cards, USB converters, and associated cable assemblies—proprietary and commercial off-the-shelf components that support avionics, flight testing, spacecraft integration, and data transmission across aerospace and defense platforms. Representative prime work includes a $296,435 NASA Marshall Space Flight Center contract (February 2022) for PCI Express cards, MIL-STD-1553 boards, and SCSI cable assemblies supporting Space Launch System integration testing; a $130,398 Naval Air Warfare Center contract (June 2023) for COTS data bus interface products including MIL-STD-1553 and ARINC 429/717 interface cards and Ethernet appliances; and a $109,765 NASA contract (June 2022) for MIL-STD-1553 cards and SCSI cable assemblies supporting Windows 10 infrastructure modernization. Recent activity includes a $67,444 purchase order from Warner Robins Air Logistics Complex (February 2026) for MIL-STD-1553 interface cards and converters and a $22,106 Department of Defense Program Executive Office for Aviation order (February 2026) for Ethernet equipment.

Customer concentration reflects Alta Data's deep roots in naval aviation and space platforms. The top five customer organizations by award count account for 52% of recent awards and span the Naval Air Warfare Center (53 awards, $1.4 million combined potential value), Warner Robins Air Logistics Complex (29 awards, $991 thousand), the Army Research Development and Engineering Command (25 awards, $659 thousand), Naval Sea Systems Command (18 awards, $1 million), and NASA Marshall Space Flight Center (16 awards, $2 million). By dollar value, NASA Marshall anchors the portfolio at $2 million across 16 awards, followed by Naval Air Warfare Center at $1.4 million. Activity has accelerated—from eight awards per year in 2022 and 2023 to thirty-nine in 2024, with twenty-one in 2025 and seven year-to-date in 2026—driven largely by small purchase orders ranging from approximately $2,700 to under $100,000 each.

Alta Data appears on several indefinite delivery contracts: Air Force FA850919D0001 (4 task orders), the General Services Administration's One Acquisition Solution for Integrated Services (4 task orders), Air Force FA850924D0003 (3 task orders), Navy N0001923D0012 (3 task orders), and Navy N0001923D0008 (2 task orders). No ceiling values or full vehicle descriptions are provided in the source.

In its subcontractor role, Alta Data supplies interface cards, cable assemblies, and Ethernet appliances to prime contractors including Sierra Nevada Company (appearing in more than twenty sub awards for programs such as Precision Strike Package contractor logistics support, Link 16 Phase II, and Future Vertical Lift airborne mission networking), Bell Textron (Future Vertical Lift FLRAA program for Army vertical lift aircraft), General Atomics Aeronautical Systems (Gray Eagle technical services), Lockheed Martin (Guided Multiple Launch Rocket System and PATRIOT Advanced Capability missile production), Raytheon Company (Hypersonic Attack Cruise Missile testing), Science Applications International Corporation (hardware-in-the-loop modeling and simulation, software lifecycle development), and L3Harris Technologies (contractor logistics support). The sub awards reflect Alta Data's role as a component supplier rather than a systems integrator; the company provides the proprietary interface hardware that integrates into larger aerospace and defense systems.

Combined potential value across all 271 awards (prime and sub) is $8.9 million, with combined dollars obligated at $13.9 million—indicating that invoiced revenue has exceeded recorded potential value, a signal of contract modifications and task order expansions. The vendor serves forty-six distinct customer agencies, suggesting broad but shallow federal market penetration anchored on consumable hardware and spare parts rather than large integration programs.
