About this IDV
L3Harris Technologies, Inc., through its Harris Defense Communications Division, holds a single-award Indefinite Delivery Contract (IDC) valued at $329.8 million with the U.S. Marine Corps for the Marine Corps Wideband Satellite-Expeditionary (MCWS-X) Portable Satellite Communications Terminal program. The IDC, awarded on October 20, 2020, with an ultimate completion date of October 19, 2025, procures man-packable, multiband Super High Frequency satellite terminals designed to support expeditionary and deployed operational environments. The contract encompasses the delivery of up to 432 MCWS-X portable satellite communication terminals across a base period and four one-year ordering periods, along with associated spare part kits, retrofits, equipment without cases, and new equipment training. Performance is executed from the contractor's primary facility in Rochester, New York. As a non-set-aside contract awarded through a Best Value Trade-Off competitive evaluation, L3Harris established itself as the sole provider of these mission-critical satellite communications capabilities for the Marine Corps based on technical merit and pricing competitiveness.
Through the MCWS-X IDC vehicle, L3Harris has executed 21 delivery orders totaling approximately $60.8 million since the contract's inception in October 2020, demonstrating sustained Marine Corps demand for portable satellite terminal capabilities. These delivery orders, issued on a firm fixed-price basis, have provided incremental quantities of MCWS-X portable satellite terminals, spare components, system retrofits, and ancillary equipment to support the service's worldwide communications infrastructure modernization efforts. The delivery order awards range from $22,735 to $20.4 million per issuance, with completion dates extending through December 31, 2026, reflecting ongoing procurement and sustainment requirements. As a large business contractor, L3Harris frequently engages major subcontractors including Lockheed Martin, General Dynamics, and BAE Systems on the MCWS-X program, positioning itself as a critical systems integrator within the defense industrial base providing mission-essential communications capabilities supporting Department of Defense operations across multiple domains.
