L3Harris Technologies, Inc.

L3Harris Technologies, Inc., operating the L3Harris Technologies Inc. Division as Harris Co, manufactures defense electronics, communications systems, and surveillance equipment as a prime contractor across the Department of Defense, federal civilian agencies, and international military customers, competing in full-and-open procurements without set-aside designations.

L3Harris is a for-profit, large-business manufacturer of advanced communications systems, electronic warfare, avionics, radar, satellite technologies, and mission-critical defense solutions, headquartered in Melbourne, Florida. The division cited in this portfolio (Harris Co) is a child entity of parent L3Harris Technologies, Inc. The vendor's award footprint spans 5,439 prime and subcontract awards across 169 federal agencies, with combined potential value of $116.97 billion. Over the past five years, annual award volume peaked at 355 in 2024, with 2025 and 2026 showing activity contraction (171 and 45 awards respectively), suggesting either portfolio maturation or concentration into larger delivery orders rather than discrete procurements.

Naval and Air Force customers dominate the award count. The top five funding agencies by award count — Naval Supply Systems Command (818 awards, $241.9 million), the Air Force (690 awards, $1.09 billion), the Army (549 awards, $14.9 million), Naval Air Systems Command (321 awards, $368.3 million), and Defense Logistics Agency Aviation (184 awards, $5 million) — represent 47% of all awards. By potential dollar value, the concentration shifts sharply: the Army's Program Executive Office Enterprise Information Systems leads with 84 awards carrying $2.14 billion combined potential value, followed by Special Operations Command (148 awards, $1.52 billion), the Air Force (690 awards, $1.09 billion), Naval Information Warfare Systems Command (171 awards, $536.3 million), and Naval Air Systems Command (321 awards, $368.3 million). This divergence reflects L3Harris' role as a high-volume supplier of discrete electronic components and repair services to Naval supply channels alongside fewer but much larger program-level sustainment and engineering contracts with Army and Air Force commands.

L3Harris' concrete capability portfolio centers on radio frequency and countermeasure equipment, satellite communications terminal sustainment, avionics and digital system upgrades, antenna and amplifier repair and manufacturing, airborne surveillance (Surveillance and Broadcast Services II for the Federal Aviation Administration at $913.4 million), robotic system sustainment (T7 fleet platforms), and electronic warfare integration. Recent representative prime work includes a $913.4 million definitive contract with the Federal Aviation Administration for Surveillance and Broadcast Services II (ADS-B surveillance systems through March 2031, performed in Melbourne, FL); a $53.9 million delivery order from the Army's Program Executive Office Enterprise Information Systems for SATCOM terminal sustainment and engineering services under the $487.3 million Defense Contract Management Agency IDIQ (June 2025); a $19.25 million Air Force Electronic Systems Center delivery order for Maverick program sustainment under AF DCGS Data Links-1; a $12.6 million sole-source definitive contract with Immigration and Customs Enforcement for technical investigative equipment upgrades and training (September 2025, performed in Lorton, VA); and a $10.45 million Air Force Space Command delivery order for agile software development and DevSecOps support to Air Force Technical Applications Center software modernization (November 2025, through February 2027).

L3Harris operates under three large government-wide vehicle positions that anchor much of its task-order activity. The Information Technology Schedule 70 (GSA) vehicle shows 338 task orders with $180 million combined potential value. The company holds a $487.3 million single-award IDIQ (contract DCA20093D0004) with the Defense Contract Management Agency for satellite communications terminal sustainment and engineering services, which generated 200 task orders. A Basic Ordering Agreement (N0038323GT301) with Naval Supply Systems Command carries 125 task orders valued at $17.2 million. The vendor also sits on an Indefinite Delivery Contract (W15P7T09DH001) with 71 task orders valued at $830.4 million. Recently awarded vehicle positions include a $25.357 billion multiple-award Advanced Technology Support Program V (ATSP V) IDIQ with the Defense Microelectronics Activity (April 2026, through December 2035); a $151 billion multiple-award Scalable Homeland Innovative Enterprise Layered Defense (SHIELD) contract with the Missile Defense Agency (December 2025, through December 2035); a $49.6 million single-award IDIQ with Air Force Space Command for software modernization at Air Force Technical Applications Center (November 2025, through November 2030); a $28.4 million single-award NAVWAR engineering support services IDIQ (July 2025, through June 2030, cost-plus-fixed-fee, performed in San Diego); and a $20.6 million single-award IDIQ with Army PEO Combat Support and Combat Service Support for T7 robot fleet sustainment (September 2025, through September 2028, firm fixed-price, in Palm Bay, FL).

Across SCI-reportable service contracts (which capture federal service contracts above the $150,000 threshold and exclude goods, products, and classified work), L3Harris reported prime invoicing of $326.6 million across FY2022–FY2024, with FY2024 invoicing of $176 million on 205 FTEs, FY2023 invoicing of $94.4 million on 359 FTEs, and FY2022 invoicing of $56.1 million on 96.5 FTEs. Government-paid hourly rates on prime service contracts ranged from a 10th percentile of $80.06/hr to a median of $213.24/hr to a 90th percentile of $766.76/hr, reflecting mix of labor-intensive support services and senior technical engineering. Across SCI-reportable prime contracts, subcontractors performed an average of 4% of total contractor hours, with 17 named subcontractors identified across the records, indicating L3Harris delivers most work through its own teams.

L3Harris subcontracts to major defense primes with particular concentration in Ground-based Midcourse Defense (GMD) systems and aerospace programs. The vendor appears as a subcontractor on Northrop Grumman Systems Corporation awards for GMD weapon system engineering, phased-array antenna development, and ground-warfare software development (27+ documented sub awards since November 2025); on Boeing for AH-64 Apache attack helicopter production and sustainment, MQ-25 Stingray carrier-based refueler development, and Mobile User Objective System service life extension (15+ sub awards); on Lockheed Martin for HIMARS and Multiple Launch Rocket System production, F-35 aircraft component manufacturing, and strategic missiles engineering (20+ sub awards); and on other major primes including Sikorsky (Combat Rescue Helicopter), General Dynamics Information Technology (global security engineering), SAIC (modernization and fielding), and Booz Allen Hamilton (Joint Artificial Intelligence Center). This subcontract footprint demonstrates L3Harris' role as a critical supplier of communications, antenna, and electronic warfare subsystems to the largest defense programs.

The vendor holds a full-and-open competitive posture across its prime portfolio with no documented small-business set-asides, and does not hold certifications as an 8(a), HUBZone, SDVOSB, WOSB, or other disadvantaged business. Awards with ultimate completion dates within the next twenty-four months total 144 contracts carrying combined potential value of $1.11 billion, representing near-term recompete exposure; the peak program-level vehicle (SATCOM sustainment IDIQ and Surveillance and Broadcast Services II) faces renewal windows within this timeframe alongside numerous Naval Supply Systems Command task-order recompetes across discrete component and repair categories.
