L3 Technologies, Inc.

L3 Technologies, Inc. Communication Systems-East Division (doing business as Communication Systems - East Division), a subsidiary of L3Harris Technologies, is a for-profit manufacturer and prime contractor delivering maritime communications systems, cryptographic components, circuit card assemblies, and sustainment support to the U.S. Navy, Coast Guard, and Air Force on a full-and-open, non-set-aside basis. The division operates as a prime contractor in 94% of its recent awards and competes exclusively in unrestricted procurements with no SBA certifications.

The division's customer concentration is highly skewed toward the U.S. Navy and Coast Guard. The Naval Supply Systems Command leads by award count (357 awards, $16.8 million combined potential value), followed by the Coast Guard (112 awards, $207.6 million combined potential value), which together with the Department of the Army (67 awards, $1.07 billion combined potential value) and the Air Force (78 awards, $824 thousand combined potential value) represent the top four funding sources. The Army's concentration is driven by a single large indefinite delivery contract (DASG6002D0015, $1.07 billion, 50 task orders). The Coast Guard concentration reflects substantial work on sustainment support for Command, Control, Communications, Computers, Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance systems aboard National Security Cutters and Fast Response Cutters. Recent capability examples include a $28.7 million definitive contract from the Space and Missile Systems Center (awarded September 28, 2025) for development, test, and delivery of end cryptographic units for the Protected Tactical Satellite Communication family of systems; a $17.6 million delivery order from Naval Information Warfare Systems Command (May 30, 2025) for C5I systems technical sustainment support to the Coast Guard; a $6.4 million delivery order from the Coast Guard (September 2, 2025) for Shipboard Alarm and Announcing System operating system upgrades on National Security Cutter platforms; and a $1.66 million delivery order from the Coast Guard (July 27, 2026) for remote troubleshooting and onsite support of radio frequency distribution systems onboard National Security Cutters.

The division maintains position on five major parent vehicles. The largest by task order volume are two Navy indefinite delivery contracts: N0010492GA064 (88 task orders, no ceiling specified in source) and N0038398G001J (63 task orders), both supporting broad electronic components and communications system sustainment. Additional vehicle positions include N0010404GA751 (60 task orders, $600 thousand combined potential value), the Army indefinite delivery contract DASG6002D0015 (50 task orders, $1.07 billion combined potential value), and the Coast Guard single-award indefinite delivery contract (April 1, 2023, through December 31, 2026) worth $47.8 million for proprietary sustainment support of L3Harris C4ISR assets. A second Coast Guard single-award contract with Naval Information Warfare Systems Command (September 20, 2024, through September 19, 2029) carries $49.999 million ceiling and funds electronic components and communications systems supporting Coast Guard operations. The division also holds a $28.7 million definitive contract with the Space and Missile Systems Center for cryptographic unit development extending through September 30, 2030.

Work is performed primarily in Camden, New Jersey, with secondary performance sites including Baltimore Maryland, Portsmouth Virginia, and Goose Creek South Carolina. The division's product and service portfolio concentrates on radio and television broadcasting and wireless communications equipment (416 awards), bare printed circuit board manufacturing (289 awards), other communications equipment (179 awards), telephone apparatus (91 awards), and ship building and repair (62 awards). Communications security equipment and components (283 awards) and electrical and electronic assemblies (264 awards) are the largest procurement categories by PSC.

Activity has remained consistent year over year, with 60 prime awards in 2024, 37 in 2025, and 7 through September 2026 (the recent data window). Sixteen awards carry ultimate completion dates within the next twenty-four months with combined potential value of $60.1 million, representing modest recompete risk. SCI-reported invoicing across FY2022–FY2025 totaled $11.3 million, with FY2025 invoicing at $4.2 million across 6.0 FTEs. The division self-performs all reported labor with zero subcontractor engagement on SCI-reportable prime contracts; government-paid hourly rates span from $42.78/hr at the 10th percentile to $667.42/hr at the 90th percentile, with a median around $203.63/hr. As a subcontractor, the division supplies electronic components and technical services to major defense primes including Lockheed Martin (F-35 sustainment, Global Air System Sustainment, Next Generation Multipurpose Platform integration engineering), Electric Boat (submarine construction and ship control backfit), Huntington Ingalls (LHA-8 detailed design and construction), Textron Systems (LCAC long lead materials), and The Boeing Company (KC-46 software sustainment). These sub awards emphasize the division's role as a component and software supplier to platform integrators rather than a standalone platform prime.
