Purchase Order SPE4A726P5753

This purchase order, awarded January 23, 2026, to Thales Defense & Security Inc. for $11,718 represents a firm fixed-price procurement of an Artificial Intelligence Modification Kit with a completion date of January 25, 2027. The award was issued without a small business set-aside and performed at the contractor's facility in Clarksburg, Maryland. Thales Defense & Security Inc., a foreign-owned subsidiary of the global Thales Group, is a specialized manufacturer of advanced communications, electronics, and defense solutions with an established federal contracting presence since 2002. The Defense Logistics Agency's Aviation division funded this procurement, which falls under Thales' broader portfolio of modification kit supply arrangements.

This purchase order is likely issued against Thales' $21.4 million Indefinite Delivery Contract with the Defense Logistics Agency Aviation for modification kits for artificial intelligence systems, one of the company's largest and most actively utilized contract vehicles. Thales maintains an extensive network of indefinite delivery instruments across multiple defense agencies, including the Air Force Materiel Command and Army Program Executive Office Soldier, supporting critical modernization initiatives across aviation, ground systems, and soldier equipment platforms. The modest value of this individual task order reflects the typical component-level procurements issued against these broader IDCs, which enable government agencies to obtain specialized electronic and communications equipment on an as-needed basis to support ongoing military operations and modernization requirements.
