Haivision Network Video Inc.

Haivision Network Video Inc., a foreign-owned for-profit corporation headquartered in Deerfield, Illinois, supplies video streaming, encoding, and decoding hardware, software, and technical support services to Department of Defense and civilian federal agencies as both a prime contractor (62% of recent awards) and subcontractor (38%). The vendor competes in full-and-open markets with no SBA set-aside designations across its federal footprint.

Haivision's capability portfolio centers on low-latency video encoder and decoder hardware (Makito X platform, dual-channel encoders, decoder blades), premium technical support programs, and specialized video transmission solutions for military aviation, surveillance, and command-and-control applications. Representative prime work includes a $262.6 thousand purchase order from a Defense agency headquarters (awarded September 2026) for a video system supporting incident management and situational awareness, a $3.1 thousand sole-source purchase order from the Bureau of Naval Personnel (February 2026) for 24/7 technical support on a Haivision Makito X encoder at the Civil Engineering Corps Officer School broadcast studio in Port Hueneme, California, and a $41.8 thousand purchase order from Naval Air Warfare Center (May 2025) for renewal of a Haivision premium support program at Patuxent River, Maryland. The sole-source designation on the Naval Personnel contract reflects the Navy's determination that Haivision was the only source capable of delivering premium technical support with two-hour response time, enhanced hardware coverage, and software maintenance releases.

Customer concentration reflects defense-centric positioning. The top five funding agencies by award count—led by Department of the Air Force Materiel Command Aeronautical Systems Center (16 awards), Department of the Navy Naval Air Systems Command Naval Air Warfare Center (12 awards, $459 thousand potential value), and Department of the Air Force Materiel Command Warner Robins Air Logistics Complex (8 awards)—account for 52% of awards. When ranked by potential value, Naval Air Warfare Center dominates at $459 thousand, followed by Department of Transportation Federal Aviation Administration at $263 thousand and Department of State Bureau of Western Hemisphere Affairs at $250 thousand, together covering 60% of combined potential value. The divergence in rankings signals that Haivision places numerous small maintenance and technical-support orders across Air Force logistics complexes while anchoring larger dollar awards with Navy and civilian agencies.

Haivision operates under several Air Force indefinite delivery vehicles: Basic Ordering Agreement FA862021G4009 (9 task orders), Indefinite Delivery Contract FA863722DB001 (6 task orders), Indefinite Delivery Contract FA850919D0001 (4 task orders), and Indefinite Delivery Contract FA850924D0003 (4 task orders). The vendor also holds positions on an Information Analysis Center Multiple-Award Contract (3 task orders) and other agency-specific vehicles. Recent activity has grown from one award in 2022 to nineteen in 2025, with four awards recorded in 2026 year-to-date. Only one award (the FAA video system, $263 thousand potential value) faces ultimate completion in the next twenty-four months, indicating limited near-term recompete exposure.

As a subcontractor, Haivision delivers video encoders and transmission equipment to Sierra Nevada Company (airborne mission networking kits, BIG SAFARI encoder blades, video processors), L3Harris Technologies Integrated Systems (Armed Overwatch delivery orders, motor and generator manufacturing classifications), Leidos (geospatial information operations and technology integration), HII Mission Technologies (persistent expeditionary surveillance and force protection systems), and ManTech TSG-2 Joint Venture (Marine Corps Systems Command intelligence systems audio/video equipment). Haivision also subcontracts to J.F. Taylor, Prism Maritime, and Smartronix on support contracts and special operations command capabilities tasks. The vendor's sub footprint is heavily concentrated in Air Force and Navy aviation platforms, with secondary exposure to special operations and geospatial intelligence programs.

NAICS and PSC concentration underscore the hardware-and-support positioning: Audio and Video Equipment Manufacturing accounts for 24 awards, Aircraft Manufacturing for 10, and All Other Professional, Scientific, and Technical Services for 9. Top PSC codes include Video Recording and Reproducing Equipment (8 awards), Information Technology Software (7 awards), and Information Technology Support Equipment (5 awards). The combined obligated dollars ($6.4 million) exceed combined potential value ($2.2 million), indicating that prior-year task orders and amendments have pushed realized spend well above ceiling estimates—a signal of sustained demand renewal across the Air Force and Navy customer base.
