About this award

The Aeronautical Systems Center issued an $83.843 million delivery order to L3Harris Technologies Integrated Systems L.P. on October 23, 2024, for RC-135 Sustainment, with ultimate completion September 30, 2027.

This order is issued under the Air Force's BIG SAFARI Basic Ordering Agreement (FA862016G3027), a classified special-access program vehicle. BIG SAFARI is a $7 billion combined-potential-value Air Force program anchoring 261 task orders for aircraft modifications, electronic warfare capabilities, and advanced systems integration across the Aeronautical Systems Center's portfolio.

Place of performance is Greenville, TX. L3Harris Integrated Systems is a large-business aerospace and defense prime, a subsidiary of L3Harris Technologies, Inc., operating as prime on 98% of its recent awards with minimal subcontractor reliance and dominant market position in Air Force aircraft modernization. The RC-135 sustainment scope encompasses aircraft components, electronic systems, and related sustainment across L3Harris's organic labor capacity and a multi-vendor subcontractor network including Northrop Grumman Systems Corporation, BAE Systems Space & Mission Systems, Sierra Nevada Company, Caes Systems, and a team of specialized component suppliers spanning avionics, optical systems, electrical systems, and structural components.

Pricing is Cost Plus Fixed Fee. This order is issued under full-and-open competition (no set-aside).

Service Contract Inventory reporting for FY2025 captures $21.8 million invoiced against 12.3 FTEs, with no subcontractor labor share reported—reflecting L3Harris's self-performance model on this sustainment program. Government-paid median hourly rates on L3Harris's service-contract footprint run approximately $168.66/hr, with senior labor reaching $590.72/hr at the 90th percentile across the awardee's broader federal services portfolio.
