26-SIMACQ-N20-0002 Video Scaler

The Navy’s Naval Surface Warfare Center, Port Hueneme Division is awarding a single‑source, firm‑fixed‑price contract to Altinex for 281 Altinex brand video scaler cards (part number MT306‑502). These cards are EQT‑qualified and required for the AEGIS Video Distribution System (SCD 29443) on Navy vessels. Because the part has unique form, fit, and function, and alternative sources would require costly re‑qualification and cause up to two‑year schedule delays, competition is not permitted. Funding of $461,304.12 is allocated across FY 2026‑FY 2028 (base year plus two option years). The contract will support mission‑critical video distribution capabilities and avoid fleet downtime. • 281 video scaler cards (53 + 114 + 114) to be delivered under a firm‑fixed‑price award. • Sole‑source to Altinex, the only OEM with EQT‑approved components. • Funding: $81,879.37 FY26, $189,712.38 FY27, $189,712.38 FY28 (total $461,304.12). • Required to meet Navy’s AEGIS video distribution system refresh schedule; alternatives would add $200k+ in testing and up to two years delay. • Contract type: single‑source, firm‑fixed‑price, with options for FY27‑FY28.
