L3Harris Technologies, Inc.

L3Harris Technologies, Inc., doing business as Harris Co, is a large-business prime contractor and subcontractor delivering advanced communications systems, electronic warfare equipment, antenna systems, radar and navigation platforms, satellite technologies, and mission-critical defense electronics to the Department of Defense, federal civilian agencies, and intelligence organizations. The company operates as a child division of L3Harris Technologies, Inc., headquartered in Melbourne, Florida, and competes full-and-open without set-aside designations across its prime footprint.

L3Harris anchors its federal presence in defense electronics manufacturing and sustainment. Representative prime work includes a $1.12 billion five-year Surveillance and Broadcast Services II contract with the Federal Aviation Administration for ADS-B surveillance infrastructure (awarded March 2026, performance through March 2031); a $99.3 million delivery order from the Army's Program Executive Office Enterprise Information Systems for satellite communications terminal sustainment and engineering services (awarded May 2026); a $19.25 million sustainment delivery order for the Maverick program under the Air Force Distributed Common Ground System data-links acquisition (awarded September 2025); a $12.6 million sole-source technical investigative equipment upgrade contract with Immigration and Customs Enforcement (awarded September 2025); and a $20.6 million T7 robot fleet sustainment IDIQ with the Army's Program Executive Office Combat Support and Combat Service Support (awarded September 2025). The company also holds a $487.3 million single-award satellite communications terminal sustainment IDIQ with the Defense Contract Management Agency and a $28.4 million engineering support IDIQ with Naval Information Warfare Systems Command. Prime awards represent 90% of L3Harris' recent federal contract portfolio.

Customer concentration skews heavily toward Navy and Air Force. By award count, the top five customers account for 47% of all recent awards, led by the Naval Supply Systems Command (819 awards, $250.6 million combined potential value) and the Air Force (691 awards, $1.09 billion combined potential value), followed by the Army (548 awards), Naval Air Systems Command (322 awards, $363.9 million), and Defense Logistics Agency Aviation (184 awards). By potential-value concentration, the Army's Program Executive Office Enterprise Information Systems anchors the portfolio at $2.22 billion across 85 awards — predominantly satellite communications and modem systems work — while U.S. Special Operations Command ranks second at $1.52 billion across 148 awards. The Air Force's $1.09 billion across 691 awards reflects broad engagement across avionics, communications, and software modernization programs.

L3Harris places task orders against multiple government-wide vehicles. The Information Technology Schedule 70 (GSA MAS) carries 338 task orders valued at $180 million combined. A single-award satellite communications IDIQ (DCA20093D0004) shows 200 prior task orders; the Naval Supply Systems Command Basic Ordering Agreement N0038323GT301 carries 135 task orders valued at $21.8 million. The company also holds positions on the Army's indefinite-delivery W15P7T09DH001 vehicle ($830.4 million across 71 task orders), the Defense Microelectronics Activity's Advanced Technology Support Program V (ATSP V, $25.357 billion ceiling, awarded April 2026), the Missile Defense Agency's Scalable Homeland Innovative Enterprise Layered Defense (SHIELD, $151 billion ceiling, awarded December 2025), and the Air Force Space Command's software modernization IDIQ ($49.6 million ceiling, awarded November 2025). These vehicle positions establish L3Harris as a preferred prime across Army, Navy, and Air Force technology sustainment and acquisition portfolios.

Recent activity has declined sharply. Awards per year averaged 198 in 2022, grew to 347 in 2024, but dropped to 174 in 2025 and 75 in 2026 year-to-date — a signature recompete cliff pattern. The company faces $1.38 billion in combined potential value across 137 awards reaching ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, creating near-term recompete exposure on major sustainment vehicles and engineering service IDIQs.

L3Harris operates predominantly as a prime and builds its own delivery teams. Across SCI-reportable federal service contracts, the company reports an average sub-hours share of 4% — indicating that L3Harris retains roughly 96% of labor in-house — and names 18 subcontractors on prime contracts. However, the company also executes substantial subcontract volume. Recent sub work includes electrical systems and avionics components on Apache attack helicopter production for Boeing (multiple 2025 awards for foreign military sales to Poland, Egypt, and Kuwait); antenna and RF components for Northrop Grumman's Ground-based Midcourse Defense weapon-system development (recurring 2025–2026 task orders); satellite and communications modules for Lockheed Martin's F-35 sustainment and HIMARS/MLRS production programs; EOD and sensor equipment for General Dynamics and HII Mission Technologies prime contracts; and specialized software components for CACI, Science Applications International Corporation, and Booz Allen Hamilton program work. This sub pattern reflects L3Harris' role as a specialized component and systems supplier to the tier-one defense primes on high-volume production programs.

SCI-reported invoiced revenue on federal service contracts totaled $355.4 million across FY2022–FY2025, with $176 million in FY2024 (205 contractor FTEs delivered) and $28.8 million in FY2025 (4,462 FTEs reported). The FY2025 spike in FTE count against declining invoiced dollars suggests contract labor rate compression or recent large task-order awards not yet fully invoiced. Government-paid hourly rates on prime service contracts run a median of $213.48/hr, with junior labor pricing around $81/hr (10th percentile) and senior technical labor reaching $717/hr (90th percentile), positioning the company as a mid-to-high-rate federal services vendor. The SCI dataset captures only contracts above the $150,000 threshold and excludes classified work, goods procurement, and the majority of L3Harris' product-based revenue, rendering it a small subset of total federal and enterprise activity.

Primary NAICS concentrations reflect manufacturing and engineering. Radio and Television Broadcasting and Wireless Communications Equipment Manufacturing accounts for 673 awards; Search, Detection, Navigation, and Guidance System Manufacturing covers 336 awards; Aircraft Manufacturing spans 297 awards; and Other Communications Equipment Manufacturing tallies 223 awards. Top PSC categories align: Miscellaneous Communication Equipment (742 awards), Electronic Countermeasures and Counter-Countermeasures Equipment (262 awards), Electrical and Electronic Assemblies (182 awards), and Antennas and Waveguides (152 awards). This footprint characterizes L3Harris as a mission-critical supplier of advanced RF, communications, avionics, and electronic warfare subsystems and components across the defense enterprise.
