Stromasys SA

Stromasys SA is a Swiss-based technology company specializing in cross-platform virtualization solutions, particularly for legacy systems. Through its subsidiary Stromasys Inc., the company provides critical support services to the U.S. Department of Defense, specifically the Naval Air Systems Command's Naval Air Warfare Center. Stromasys' primary offering to the federal government is its Charon-VAX/XM Plus emulation software, which allows organizations to run legacy VAX applications on modern hardware platforms. This technology is crucial for maintaining operational continuity in environments where legacy systems are still essential but becoming increasingly difficult to support with aging hardware.

Over the past several years, Stromasys has consistently been awarded purchase orders by the Naval Air Warfare Center for "Gold Support" of its Charon-VAX/XM Plus software. These awards, typically ranging from $6,120 to $6,800 annually, have been granted on a yearly basis from 2020 to 2023. Each contract has a performance period of approximately one year, indicating an ongoing need for Stromasys' specialized support services. The Naval Air Warfare Center, as part of the Department of the Navy, likely utilizes this software to maintain critical legacy systems involved in aircraft evaluation and acquisition programs. These contracts are awarded directly to Stromasys Inc. as prime awards, without set-asides, suggesting that Stromasys possesses unique capabilities in this niche area of legacy system emulation and support.
