Washington, D.C. – TEVET, a leading supplier of test and measurement equipment to the Defense and Aerospace industry, attended the Annual F-35 Supplier Conference sponsored by Lockheed Martin Corporation for their 9th consecutive year. TEVET attended to understand the state of the F-35 program, engage with other F-35 suppliers, and gain insight into the latest updates and information on the F-35 program.  For FY25 the spotlight is on Relevance, Rate / Capacity and Readiness.   

While there, TEVET spent time with Lockheed Martins’ Doug Wilhelm, GM and VP of the F-35 Program along with Mary Walker, VP of Global Supply Chain sharing TEVET's capabilities and value to the program and across Lockheed Martin.

TEVET extends a special thank you to Senators Marsha Blackburn and Bill Hagerty along with Representatives Diana Harshbarger and Scott DesJarlais and their staff for making time for TEVET to share their learnings, and the positive economic impact the program has on TEVET, their community, and across the state, as well as how critical the program is to our nation's security.  Along with general support of the program, specific requests were as follows:    

  1. Relevance:                    Full funding and modernization in Block 4
  2. Rate / Capacity:           Minimal production rates of 80
  3. Readiness:                     Funding of additional spares  

While TEVET serves as a direct supplier to Lockheed Martin Corporation on the F-35 program, they also touch the F-35 supply chain through its subcontractors, which include most of the top prime contractors in the Aerospace and Defense Industry. TEVET offers its customers a one-stop shop for all their Test Equipment needs. In addition to the reduction in administrative costs from fewer lines, POs, and suppliers to manage, TEVET maintains strong contractual relationships with all the major OEMs and distributors, to reduce their customer's costs and maintain warranties, ensuring they get the equipment they need when they need it.
