L3Harris Technologies, Inc.

L3Harris Technologies, Inc., doing business as Harris Corporation, is a large defense and aerospace prime contractor that delivers advanced radar systems integration, space domain awareness payloads, missile defense platforms, and launch-range modernization services to Department of Defense and intelligence agencies, competing full-and-open with no set-aside designations across multiple acquisition vehicles including OASIS+ Unrestricted and agency-specific IDIQs.

L3Harris is a for-profit corporate entity headquartered in Colorado Springs, Colorado, with a parent company structure (UEI SJULQDJ8NZU7) based in Melbourne, Florida. The vendor competes as a large business across full-and-open procurements; recent awards carry no set-aside coding. Primary work clusters in research and development for physical and engineering sciences (8 awards), engineering services (5 awards), and specialized electrical equipment manufacturing and telecommunications (4 awards combined), with secondary focus on space flight operations, defense R&D, and IT and telecom integration.

Customer concentration is heavily weighted to the Department of the Air Force Space Command and Space and Missile Systems Center, which account for 8 awards and $472 million in combined potential value across 63% of the award sample. A $488.2 million single Air Force award and a $156 million Army Space and Missile Defense Command award anchor the top-customer-by-value ranking, but the two rankings diverge at the volume level — the Air Force Space Command shows strong repeat ordering (eight task orders) while the Army and DARPA awards are concentrated in single high-value vehicles. The vendor has worked with 14 distinct customer agencies in recent years, including the Marine Corps, the Missile Defense Agency, GSA, and NASA (via Princeton University as prime recipient).

L3Harris holds seats on OASIS+ Unrestricted (1 task order, $6.5 million recent value), a multi-billion-dollar GSA government-wide acquisition contract, and on the Scalable Homeland Innovative Enterprise Layered Defense (SHIELD) program, a $151 billion Missile Defense Agency multiple-award IDIQ awarded December 29, 2025, with an ultimate completion date of December 28, 2035. L3Harris also places work under ASTRO (3 task orders), the Conceptual Studies for Offensive/Defensive Space Control and Space Domain Awareness IDIQ (2 task orders, $53 thousand combined value), and agency-specific IDIQs. Recent representative prime work includes a $6.458 million OASIS+ delivery order from Air Force Space Command (February 26, 2026) for Array Group driver integration and testing at Thule, Fylingdales, and Clear radar sites to eliminate hardware obsolescence, with performance at Cheyenne Mountain Air Force Base through April 2027; a software porting assessment study for the Radar and Atmospheric Monitoring System from the Counter Communications System 10.2 to Meadowlands ($49,979, October 2024); and a $76,084 purchase order to the Army Research Development and Engineering Command for delivery of one Horus/IMTS unit (September 2023).

Award volume has grown unevenly, with one award per year in 2022 and 2023, a sharp increase to nine awards in 2024, and two in 2025 through mid-year. Three awards (combined potential value $744.9 million) carry ultimate completion dates within the next twenty-four months, representing significant recompete exposure. The combined potential value across all recent awards is $1.19 billion against $1.24 billion already obligated, indicating mature programs and heavy spend-down activity.

L3Harris operates predominantly as a prime contractor (63% of awards) but holds subcontractor positions under Science Applications International Corporation on multiple space-launch and mission-modernization efforts, including Digital Transformation Acquisition Modernization and Modification (DTAMM) support to Space Launch Delta 30 and 45 for Launch and Test Range System modernization (March 2024), Networking on the Move cable assemblies (February 2024), and RF equipment and antenna components (February–August 2024). L3Harris also subcontracts to Princeton University on the Interstellar Boundary Explorer (IBEX) space science mission, providing payload and spacecraft integration support.

Service Contract Inventory data captures $88.1 million in invoiced prime-contract revenue across FY2024, with 182 FTEs reported on SCI-covered contracts. This SCI activity is a partial slice — it excludes classified work, goods, and non-service revenue — and understates the vendor's total federal footprint. Across SCI-reportable prime contracts, median government-paid hourly rates run around $118.64/hr, with senior labor pricing through $206.38/hr and entry-level labor at $30.90/hr. Subcontractors account for 11% of total contractor hours across SCI-reportable prime contracts, with 26 named subs reported, indicating L3Harris builds most delivery teams in-house while retaining specialized subcontract capacity for component supply and focused technical support.
