CABLE ASSEMBLY, SPEC

The U.S. Defense Logistics Agency awarded contract SPE4A626PH647 to THALES DEFENSE & SECURITY INC on July 21, 2026, for the procurement of a single line item: CABLE ASSEMBLY, SPEC (NSN/Part 5995016648395), with a total contract value of $30,496.00 under solicitation SPE4A6-26-T-171Z. The contract was issued as a modification to the original solicitation, with the place of performance located at 22605 GATEWAY CENTER DR, CLARKSBURG, MD 20871-2001, and the contracting officer identified as Dean Allen from DLA Aviation’s ASC Commodities Division, reachable via CARL.ALLEN@DLA.MIL. The NAICS code assigned is 335931, indicating the work falls under other electrical equipment and component manufacturing, and the contract does not include any option periods, extended quantities, or additional pricing tiers.

No other contract clauses, packaging, marking, inspection criteria, delivery terms, or technical specifications are detailed in the available documentation; the award appears administratively driven with a primary focus on DEI compliance rather than technical performance parameters. The contractor’s CAGE code is 23386, but no size status or socioeconomic certifications are disclosed, and no COR or COTR information is provided. Invoicing and payment procedures are not specified, though email submissions are accepted, and no reference is made to MIL-STD packaging standards, bar-coding, preservation, or inspection protocols, indicating that technical details may be
