The contract covers the procurement of electron tubes, specialized electronic components critical to military radar platforms, communications systems, and defense applications. This award was made on an unrestricted basis with no small business set-aside designation. CPI, headquartered in Palo Alto, California, will perform the work at its Palo Alto facility and brings extensive experience as an incumbent supplier to DLA, with a substantial contract portfolio spanning multiple years and over $11 million in previous firm fixed-price awards for electron tube procurement across various National Stock Numbers.

This purchase order represents a continuation of CPI's established role as a key supplier to the federal government for advanced microwave power systems and electron tube components. The company maintains significant standing relationships with DLA Land and Maritime and holds two major indefinite delivery contracts with combined ceiling values exceeding $15 million, which serve as vehicles for issuing firm fixed-price delivery orders such as this one. CPI's specialized capabilities in designing and manufacturing traveling wave tubes, klystrons, and associated microwave components have positioned the company as a critical supplier supporting military operations and national defense infrastructure requirements.
