Why TAA Compliance Matters for Your Next Video Wall Deployment
When a government agency or defense contractor evaluates a video wall platform, price and performance are only part of the conversation. Procurement compliance is the other part — and it can make or break a deal before a demo ever happens.
That is why Hiperwall and Now Micro built a fully TAA-compliant video wall solution designed specifically for organizations that operate under federal procurement requirements.
What TAA Compliance Actually Means
The Trade Agreements Act requires that products sold to the US government be manufactured or substantially transformed in the United States or a designated country. For technology procurement, that means scrutinizing both the software and the hardware — not just one or the other.
Most video wall vendors can check one box. Very few can check both.
Hiperwall checks both.
Software Built on American Soil
Hiperwall is the only 100% software-based video wall platform developed, supported, and secured entirely in the United States. Born from National Science Foundation research at UC Irvine in 2004, Hiperwall has spent 20+ years powering mission-critical environments for organizations including NASA, the US Military, and major defense contractors.
Because Hiperwall runs on commodity hardware rather than proprietary processors or encoders, there are no foreign hardware dependencies baked into the software architecture. Your stack stays clean.
Hardware Certified and US-Assembled
On the hardware side, Hiperwall partners exclusively with Now Micro for its Certified PC line. Now Micro assembles Hiperwall Certified PCs in the United States, optimized specifically for Hiperwall AV-over-IP performance and configured to meet TAA requirements from the ground up.
Every Certified PC can be custom-built to address specific deployment needs — whether that is a compact NOC, a large-scale SOC, or an emergency operations center running 24/7.
What This Means for Procurement
Together, Hiperwall and Now Micro deliver something the market rarely offers: a complete video wall solution where both the software platform and the certified hardware meet TAA requirements for federal procurement. That means:
- Qualification for GSA Schedule contract vehicles
- Full compliance with federal agency acquisition requirements
- No scrambling to justify foreign-origin components at the procurement stage
- A single point of accountability from software license to rack-ready hardware
For AV integrators working federal contracts, this combination eliminates one of the most common friction points in the procurement process. For government IT and procurement officers, it means a solution that clears compliance review before it ever reaches the budget conversation.
Proven Where It Counts
Hiperwall is trusted by NASA, the US Air Force, the US Army, the US Coast Guard, the Department of Veterans Affairs, Northrop Grumman, and Raytheon — organizations that do not compromise on compliance, reliability, or performance.
When the mission cannot fail, the procurement process cannot either.
