Purchase Order SPE7M126P0973

Thales Defense & Security Inc., doing business as Thales Communications Inc., was awarded a firm fixed-price purchase order valued at $329,925 by the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Land and Maritime division on October 23, 2025. The contract calls for the procurement of 83 units of earphones (National Stock Number 5965145863171) to be delivered to W1A8 DLA Distribution in Clarksburg, Maryland, with an ultimate completion date of February 16, 2027. This procurement was conducted through a Request for Quote process with no small business set-aside designation, and Thales was selected as an approved source among authorized vendors for this audio and video equipment requirement.

Thales Defense & Security Inc., a foreign-owned subsidiary of the global Thales Group, is well-positioned as a critical supplier within the federal defense procurement ecosystem, with an extensive portfolio of prime contracts and indefinite delivery vehicles across multiple defense agencies totaling tens of millions of dollars. The company's primary focus on specialized communications, electronics, and defense solutions aligns with the DLA Land and Maritime mission of supporting military logistics and equipment sustainment. This earphone procurement represents a relatively modest task order consistent with Thales' broader role as a supplier of electronic and communications components to support ongoing military operations and equipment modernization initiatives.
