This is a bit confusing indeed. It is a pretty small contract, yet still talks of a new type of a F-35.
Maybe this is for the UK? They have been planning on sticking the Meteor missile into their F-35s sometime towards the middle of the decade, which would fit nicely into this time frame.
Or then it's the sneaky Canadians. Sneaky since they actually haven't announced that they are going with the F-35 yet. But it could very well be that the decision has been made and the contracts have been signed, and they are waiting for who knows what political thingy to pass before making the official announcement.
