L3Harris Technologies, Inc.

L3Harris Technologies, Inc., doing business as Harris Corporation, is a large aerospace and defense prime contractor that delivers electronic warfare systems, countermeasures equipment, avionics, communications technologies, and engineering services to the Department of Defense and federal agencies across air, land, sea, space, and cyber domains, competing exclusively in full-and-open procurements without set-asides. The company is a subsidiary of L3Harris Technologies, Inc., headquartered in Melbourne, Florida, with operations centered in Clifton, New Jersey and Amityville, New York.

L3Harris dominates electronic warfare sustainment and production across the federal government. The vendor's core capability footprint centers on the AN/ALQ-172 Countermeasures System (a $947 million single-award indefinite delivery contract with Air Force Life Cycle Management Center), the AN/ALQ-161 Electronic Warfare system (numerous repair and sustainment delivery orders), and the Advanced Integrated Defensive Electronic Warfare Suite (AIDEWS) platform (a $584 million single-award IDC with Air Force Materiel Command for production, repairs, and engineering). Representative recent work includes a $70.3 million delivery order from U.S. Special Operations Command issued March 20, 2026, a $63.5 million production contract from Air Force Sustainment Center for AN/ALQ-172 MARS LRU-4 Countermeasures Transmitters (September 2025), a $35.7 million AIDEWS production delivery order from Air Force Materiel Command (June 2023), a $119.9 million NULKA Y Payloads production contract from Naval Sea Systems Command (September 2021), and a $5.51 million field engineering support contract for AN/ALQ-172V2 systems at Minot and Barksdale Air Force Bases (May 2025). The vendor also manufactures radio frequency amplifiers, receivers, transmitters, modulators, and related countermeasures components for Naval Supply Systems Command under dozens of smaller definitive contracts.

Customer concentration is heavily weighted toward Air Force electronic warfare sustainment and U.S. Special Operations Command. The top five customers account for 79% of award count: Naval Supply Systems Command leads in order volume (299 awards, $139.3 million), followed by U.S. Special Operations Command (114 awards, $1.62 billion), Defense Logistics Agency Aviation (85 awards, $30.1 million), Air Force Sustainment Center (77 awards, $1.15 billion), and Air Force Materiel Command broadly (47 awards, $1.79 billion). By potential value, Air Force Materiel Command leads the split with $1.79 billion across 47 awards, followed closely by U.S. Special Operations Command at $1.62 billion and Air Force Life Cycle Management Center at $1.26 billion, indicating that USSOCOM places fewer but much larger orders while Naval Supply Systems Command places many smaller component buys.

L3Harris holds a multi-billion-dollar vehicle portfolio anchored on four major IDCs: the $947 million AN/ALQ-172 sustainment contract (AFLCMC Robins), the $584 million AIDEWS Enterprise Sustainment IDC (Air Force Materiel Command), a $900 million multiple-award IDIQ for architecture and integration engineering with Air Force Life Cycle Management Center (33 task orders, $352.3 million executed), and a $45.8 million vehicle with Naval Air Systems Command for AN/ALQ-165 and AN/ALQ-214 engineering support. The Basic Ordering Agreements with Naval Supply Systems Command (N0038318GNF01) are workhorse vehicles generating 170 task orders worth $23.1 million combined in component buys. These vehicles represent the primary delivery mechanisms for ongoing sustainment and production across electronic warfare platforms.

Activity remains robust in magnitude but shows year-to-year volatility: 48 awards in 2022, declining to 24 in 2023, recovering to 32 in 2024, moderating to 25 in 2025, with only 4 awards captured in the first three weeks of 2026 (reflecting the snapshot date of July 15, 2026, four months into the fiscal year). Combined potential value across all 785 awards is $9.13 billion, with $4.05 billion obligated to date. A significant recompete exposure surfaces in the next twenty-four months: 43 awards with ultimate completion dates between July 2026 and July 2028 carry combined potential value of $584.7 million, driven by multiple ALQ-172 and AIDEWS delivery orders maturing across Air Force Sustainment Center and Air Force Materiel Command.

SCI-reported service contract invoicing (a subset covering only contracts above $150,000 and excluding goods, products, and classified work) shows $5.7 million in FY2024 across 226 FTEs, with minimal FY2023 activity ($27 thousand, 0.1 FTEs) and no FY2022 SCI records. Government-paid hourly rates on SCI-reportable labor span a median of $196.65/hr, with the 10th percentile at $58.96/hr and 90th percentile at $220.22/hr, reflecting a mix of junior support and senior technical labor. Across SCI-reportable prime contracts, subcontractors account for an average of 2% of total contractor hours, indicating L3Harris delivers most work through its own workforce on federal service contracts captured in SCI.

L3Harris operates as a prime contractor on 98% of its awards (768 of 785). When subcontracting, the vendor names Leidos, Boeing, Lockheed Martin, and Booz Allen Hamilton as frequent primes; notably, L3Harris is also a subcontractor to these same major integrators, with recent sub awards on F/A-18E aircraft systems (Boeing, May and March 2025), F-16 VIPER Shield electronic warfare production (Lockheed Martin, February 2025), naval air warfare technology protection (Booz Allen Hamilton, December 2024), and communications equipment procurement (Leidos, multiple 2024–2025 awards). On its own prime contracts, L3Harris subcontracts component manufacturing and logistics support, including Complete Logistics Support Inc. (a woman-owned small business) for configuration management and task software development on the $35.7 million AIDEWS production contract, and a multi-vendor supply base for RF modules, cable assemblies, microcircuits, and fabrication on the $119.9 million NULKA Y Payloads contract.

The award portfolio's top NAICS categories reflect the company's manufacturing and engineering breadth: Bare Printed Circuit Board Manufacturing (172 awards), Search, Detection, Navigation, Guidance, Aeronautical and Nautical System and Instrument Manufacturing (115 awards), Other Aircraft Parts and Auxiliary Equipment Manufacturing (109 awards), Radio and Television Broadcasting and Wireless Communications Equipment Manufacturing (98 awards), and Engineering Services (76 awards). The top PSC is Electronic Countermeasures, Counter-Countermeasures and Quick Reaction Capability Equipment (297 awards), underscoring the vendor's dominance in Air Force electronic warfare sustainment and production.
