Purchase Order SPE7M526V1840

The Defense Logistics Agency Land and Maritime awarded a $19,862 firm fixed-price purchase order to Communications & Power Industries LLC (CPI) on December 16, 2025, for the procurement of electron tubes, with an ultimate completion date of November 12, 2026. CPI, operating through its Microwave Power Products Division–Eimac Operations and headquartered in Palo Alto, California, is a specialized manufacturer of electron tubes, traveling wave tubes, klystrons, and associated microwave power systems critical to defense and aerospace applications. This award was made on an unrestricted basis with no small business set-aside designation. The contract represents a continuation of CPI's substantial incumbent relationship with DLA Land and Maritime, which has awarded the company over $11 million in firm fixed-price orders across multiple National Stock Numbers for electron tube components supporting military electronic systems and radar platforms.

This purchase order adds to CPI's existing portfolio with DLA, including two significant Indefinite Delivery Contracts with combined ceiling values exceeding $15 million that serve as vehicles for issuing multiple delivery orders. CPI's established federal footprint extends beyond DLA to include awards from the Department of the Navy Naval Supply Systems Command and Naval Sea Systems Command for electron tube repair and supply services. The company also maintains active subcontract relationships with major defense primes including Raytheon and Lockheed Martin Corporation, providing specialized electronic components and assemblies. CPI's SAM.gov registration dating to October 2001 underscores its long-standing role as a trusted supplier of precision electronic components to the federal defense and civilian agencies.
