The U.S. Army's Communications Electronics Command (CECOM) awarded a $3.3 billion indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity (IDIQ) contract to L3Harris Global Communications, Inc., a subsidiary of L3Harris Technologies, Inc. This contract enables CECOM to rapidly procure tactical communications equipment, including Harris brand radios, networking solutions, encryption devices, vehicle integration kits, and related accessories and services, to fulfill the requirements of over 20 allied nations through the Foreign Military Sales program. The IDIQ is being utilized to issue sole-source delivery orders for the country-directed procurement of L3Harris communications equipment and support to partners in Europe, the Middle East, Asia, and the Americas. Notable task orders under this IDIQ include support for Ukraine ($119 million), the Czech Republic ($44.7 million), Poland ($27.9 million), Romania ($22.7 million), and others. The contract does not include any set-aside designations, as L3Harris' position as the original equipment manufacturer is the basis for the sole-source acquisitions conducted under Federal Acquisition Regulation 6.302-1(a)(2) and 6.302-4 for international agreements.
Through this IDIQ and associated delivery orders, CECOM is able to rapidly equip allied forces with tactical communications capabilities critical to their defense modernization efforts. The contracted products and services support a wide range of radio systems, from handheld models to vehicle-mounted platforms and satellite terminals, ensuring interoperability and connectivity across joint and coalition operations. The work is primarily performed at L3Harris' facilities in Rochester, New York, leveraging the company's specialized expertise as a leading provider of defense communications solutions.
