PKL Services was proud to sponsor and participate in a recent golf tournament hosted by the Yuma Proving Ground Free Fall School and organized by the Special Operations Warrior Foundation. The event brought together more than 30 teams in support of a meaningful cause and a team of 4 from our F-35 Contract at MCAS Yuma placed 3rd in the tournament. The event served as a fundraiser for the Special Operations Warrior Foundation, an organization dedicated to supporting the families of fallen Special Operations Forces personnel. The Foundation provides educational funding and opportunities for surviving children of service members lost in the line of duty, as well as financial assistance to wounded Special Operations personnel. PKL Services is honored to support organizations that make a lasting impact on the military community and is proud to have contributed to the success of this important event.

We are proud to announce that PKL has officially transitioned from a dedicated subcontractor to a Prime Contractor for the CFT (Contract Field Teams) program. This achievement serves as a testament to the expertise, dedication, and operational readiness our team brings to the table every day. With a workforce comprised of nearly 90% veterans, our people possess a valuable understanding of the mission-critical needs of the active-duty personnel and military we support. To ensure we continue to provide the highest standard of service in this new capacity, members of our leadership team recently attended the CFT LASR Post Award Conference. This engagement was a vital step in aligning our operations, deepening our understanding of upcoming requirements, and ensuring we are fully prepared to execute as a prime contractor. We remain committed to supporting the global military community with the same integrity and precision that have defined PKL Services for over two decades. As we move forward, we look forward to driving greater value and efficiency for our partners and customers.

We prioritize the security of our customers and contracts, ensuring that protected data remains confidential and is not shared with unregulated tools or used for machine learning.
