Purchase Order SPE7M526P0322

The Defense Logistics Agency Land and Maritime awarded a $437,250 firm fixed-price purchase order to Thales Defense & Security Inc. for the procurement of 110 units of earphones (NSN 5965145863171) with delivery to DLA Distribution facility W1A8 in Clarksburg, Maryland. The contract, awarded on October 17, 2025, carries an ultimate completion date of January 11, 2027, and was issued without a set-aside designation. Thales Defense & Security Inc., a foreign-owned subsidiary of the global Thales Group, is an established defense contractor specializing in advanced communications, electronics, and security solutions for federal agencies. The company maintains its headquarters at the place of performance in Clarksburg, Maryland, and operates across an extensive portfolio of prime contracts and indefinite delivery vehicles with multiple Defense Department agencies.

While the originating solicitation was designated as a Total Small Business set-aside opportunity posted in July 2025, the award itself indicates no set-aside was applied, suggesting either a modification to the procurement approach or a determination that Thales met applicable requirements for participation. This purchase order represents a routine procurement of commercial audio equipment components supporting DLA Land and Maritime operations, consistent with Thales' historical involvement in supplying specialized electronic and communications equipment to the defense logistics and military modernization ecosystem.
