L3Harris Technologies Integrated Systems L.P.

L3Harris Technologies Integrated Systems L.P., a large business aerospace and defense prime contractor operating out of Greenville, Texas, delivers specialized aircraft modifications, electronic warfare systems, avionics integration, signals intelligence systems, and advanced communications solutions to the Department of Defense, competing predominantly full-and-open without set-aside restrictions. The vendor holds a subsidiary position within L3Harris Technologies, Inc. (parent: L3 Technologies, Inc.) and operates as a prime on 98% of recent awards, reflecting an internal-delivery business model built on substantial organic labor capacity rather than subcontractor reliance.

L3Harris Integrated Systems commands dominant market position in Air Force aircraft modernization, with the Aeronautical Systems Center representing its single largest customer by far—1,002 awards valued at $24.23 billion combined potential value, anchored by two primary Basic Ordering Agreement vehicles: FA862016G3027 (261 task orders, $7 billion combined potential value) and FA862021G4027 (185 task orders, $5.98 billion combined potential value), both designated for the BIG SAFARI program. The Air Force Life Cycle Management Center at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base ranks second with 521 awards valued at $4.86 billion combined potential value. Together, the Air Force customer base accounts for roughly 84% of recent award count and the overwhelming majority of the vendor's $72.68 billion combined potential value footprint. Representative recent work includes a $152.537 billion ceiling-value delivery order under BIG SAFARI (November 2023) for classified aircraft modifications and electronic warfare capabilities, a $257.393 million Armed Overwatch delivery order for aircraft manufacturing and systems integration (June 2025, FA863725FB005), a $201.9 million delivery order under the Armed Overwatch $6 billion single-award IDIQ (April 2024), and a $110.5 million delivery order for time-and-materials aircraft modifications under BIG SAFARI (June 2024). Secondary customer concentration sits with the U.S. Coast Guard (aviation sustainment and cybersecurity services on the Airborne Executive Phone-Enhanced system), Warner Robins Air Logistics Complex (Ground Signal Station and Integrated Broadcast System sustainment), and the Missile Defense Agency (awarded L3Harris a seat on the SHIELD multiple-award IDIQ valued at $151 billion with ultimate completion December 2035, reflecting enterprise-wide homeland defense technology procurement).

Service Contract Inventory captures SCI-reportable invoiced revenue of $1.56 billion across fiscal years 2022–2025 (FY2022: $267.7 million, 654 FTEs; FY2023: $332.3 million, 722 FTEs; FY2024: $367.5 million, 731 FTEs; FY2025: $595 million, 951 FTEs), showing rapid acceleration in FY2025. On federal services contracts captured in SCI, government-paid median hourly rates ran approximately $168.66/hr, with senior labor priced through the 90th percentile at $590.72/hr. Across SCI-reportable prime contracts, L3Harris self-performed virtually all labor—average subcontractor hour share of only 1% across 33 prime records—reflecting a delivery model built on internal staffing rather than subcontractor networks. FTE trajectory in SCI shows growth from 670 in FY2022 to 943 in FY2025.

Subcontractor footprint on the vendor's prime contracts shows selective use of major defense integrators and specialized component suppliers. Named prime contractors to which L3Harris subcontracts include The Boeing Company (presidential aircraft recapitalization systems, C-32/C-40 contractor logistics support), BAE Systems Information and Electronic Systems Integration Inc. (BIG SAFARI RF expansion, electrical installation, operator panels, mission care), Northrop Grumman Systems Corporation (U-2 AN/ASQ-230 sensor support and sustainment, structural metalwork), General Atomics Aeronautical Systems Inc. (India MQ-9B FMS antenna and cable assemblies, EW pod kits), Leidos Inc. (signals intelligence support), and others. L3Harris' sub work clusters around aircraft manufacturing components, electronic systems engineering, and specialized sensor/communications integration on classified and unclassified Air Force and intelligence programs.

The vendor holds three named primary Basic Ordering Agreements—the $500 million BIG SAFARI vehicle (FA862016G3027, 261 task orders at $7 billion combined potential value), the $6 billion single-award Armed Overwatch IDIQ for armed reconnaissance aircraft development and production (Aeronautical Systems Center), and the $151 billion SHIELD multiple-award IDIQ awarded December 2025 by the Missile Defense Agency for multi-domain defense capabilities spanning research, development, prototyping, systems engineering, production, and test and evaluation through December 2035. The SHIELD vehicle represents a significant expansion of L3Harris' federal footprint beyond traditional Air Force aircraft modernization into enterprise homeland defense technology procurement.

Within the award portfolio, electronic countermeasures and counter-countermeasures equipment dominates (1,131 awards under PSC code), followed by airframe structural components (297 awards), and maintenance/repair/rebuild of aircraft systems (217 awards). Primary NAICS concentration sits in other aircraft parts and auxiliary equipment manufacturing (1,220 awards) and aircraft manufacturing (455 awards), with supporting engineering services (112 awards) and navigation/guidance system manufacturing (67 awards).

Activity trajectory shows stable annual output—2022: 64 awards, 2023: 89, 2024: 78, 2025: 90, with 41 awards recorded in the first three quarters of 2026—indicating consistent customer demand without dramatic growth or decline. Recompete cliff exposes 89 awards (combined potential value $3.86 billion) reaching ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, representing meaningful recompete risk for the vendor and corresponding opportunity for competitors seeking access to Air Force aircraft modernization and electronic warfare platforms.
