About this award

L3Harris Technologies Integrated Systems L.P., a subsidiary of L3Harris Technologies, Inc., was awarded a delivery order valued at $660.1 million under the BIG SAFARI program on February 17, 2023, with completion targeted for March 31, 2029. This firm fixed-price contract, funded by the Aeronautical Systems Center (a Defense agency), will be performed in Lacy Lakeview, Texas. The BIG SAFARI program, a long-standing Special Access Program within the U.S. Air Force focused on reconnaissance and surveillance aircraft modifications and sustainment, leverages L3Harris' extensive capabilities in integrated aerospace systems, avionics, and aircraft maintenance. No small business set-aside designation was used for this award, reflecting L3Harris' competition as a large business contractor.

L3Harris Technologies Integrated Systems L.P. brings substantial relevant experience to this engagement, having secured multiple major indefinite delivery contracts for aircraft maintenance and engineering services, including a $717 million Naval Air Systems Command contract for P-8A Poseidon depot maintenance and a $2 billion Air Force Life Cycle Management Center contract for C-130 aircraft support. The company's track record demonstrates expertise across critical military platforms and specialized aerospace systems development. While specific subcontractors for this delivery order are not detailed in the award documentation, L3Harris has previously collaborated with major aerospace firms including Performance Aircraft Services, Vertex Aerospace LLC, and BAE Systems on similar programs, indicating the likely involvement of specialized aerospace and electronics partners in executing this substantial BIG SAFARI task order.
