Communications Electronics Command

The Army Materiel Command Communications Electronics Command (CECOM), a subordinate command within the Army's principal acquisition arm for signal and communications equipment and systems, manages a substantial portfolio of defense communications procurement spanning hardened communications infrastructure, tactical electronics, network systems, and related materiel.

CECOM has awarded 101,326 contracts cumulatively since 1997, with the most recent award dated October 31, 2026. Over the last five years, the command issued 809 awards in 2022, 736 in 2023, 708 in 2024, 607 in 2025, and 359 year-to-date in 2026. The combined award potential value across the lifetime portfolio is $79.55 billion, with $77.24 billion obligated to date (97% of total potential value). CECOM transacts through 8,726 distinct prime contractors across this history.

Prime-contractor concentration is highly fragmented by award count but moderately concentrated by potential value. Over the last five years, L3Harris Global Communications, Inc. leads by award count with 428 awards and $3.34 billion combined potential value — holding about 19 percent of recent award volume. The next four top primes by award count (General Dynamics Mission Systems, Inc.; PPL Electric Utilities Corporation; Fairwinds Technologies LLC; and ACE Electronics Defense Systems, LLC) collectively hold a smaller combined award share. When ranked by potential value, however, L3Harris accounts for $3.34 billion, followed by DRS Network & Imaging Systems LLC at $374.8 million, BAE Systems Information And Electronic Systems Integration Inc. at $161.2 million, General Dynamics Mission Systems, Inc. at $155 million, and Atlantic Diving Supply, Inc. at $106 million — the top five covering only 5 percent of recent combined potential value, signaling that significant contract value disperses across a wide range of contractors.

The set-aside mix reflects predominantly unrestricted open competition: 72 percent of awards (72,630) carry no set-aside designation, while 27 percent (27,820 awards) are small-business set-asides of various categories. Within the small-business tranche, standard small-business set-asides account for the vast majority; specialized designations such as 8(a), HUBZone, Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business, and Woman-Owned Small Business together represent fewer than 300 awards across the portfolio.
