About this award
The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) Headquarters, a civilian agency under the Department of Transportation, awarded a $200,754 firm fixed-price delivery order to Thales USA Inc. on January 9, 2026, for funding related to an Instrument Landing System (ILS)-420 Technical Interchange Meeting (TIM). This delivery order, with a completion date of March 5, 2029, was issued without a small business set-aside designation. Thales USA Inc., a foreign-owned subsidiary of the global Thales Group headquartered in Arlington, Virginia, serves as the FAA's exclusive prime contractor for ILS-420 systems, components, and comprehensive engineering services. The work will be performed in Arlington, Virginia, and is part of the company's broader portfolio supporting precision approach and landing system technologies essential to safe air travel operations across the National Airspace System.
This delivery order is a child contract issued under Thales USA Inc.'s single-award Indefinite Delivery Vehicle (IDV) with the FAA Headquarters valued at $40 million, which was awarded on March 7, 2024, and extends through March 5, 2029. Under this exclusive arrangement, Thales is positioned as the sole provider of ILS-420 systems and related services to the FAA. The technical interchange meeting delivery order supports program coordination and collaboration between the contractor and government stakeholders, contributing to the broader FAA initiatives for system sustainment, modernization, and maintenance of the nation's instrument landing system infrastructure. All work under the IDV maintains firm fixed-price pricing with no small business set-aside designations, reflecting the specialized and proprietary nature of ILS technology.
