Raytheon Company

Raytheon Company's HRIS Division, doing business as Raytheon Co, is a major aerospace and defense contractor specializing in advanced electronic systems, communications technologies, and identification friend or foe (IFF) solutions for military platforms. As a subsidiary of Raytheon Technologies Corporation, the company provides critical avionics and communications equipment to the U.S. Department of Defense and allied military forces worldwide. The division's core expertise centers on the design, development, and production of sophisticated transponders, cryptographic modules, and related electronic components that enable secure military communications and aircraft identification capabilities across multiple service branches and international partners.

The company has demonstrated extensive federal contracting experience through delivery orders and definitive contracts spanning multiple product lines and customer agencies. Primary products include APX-119 transponders and Mode 5 digital control panels, which are widely deployed across military aircraft platforms including the A-10, C-5, C-17, C-130, HC-130J, KC-46A, E-6B, B-2, and T-45 aircraft. The division has also delivered KIV-77 cryptographic applique units for secure communications across military systems and platforms. Funding agencies supporting these awards include the U.S. Army Communications-Electronics Command (CECOM), the Air Force (through multiple subordinate commands including the Aeronautical Systems Center, Electronic Systems Center, and Air Education and Training Command), the Naval Air Systems Command, the Naval Air Warfare Center, the U.S. Coast Guard, and the Department of Defense's Program Executive Office for Missiles and Space. Contract values have ranged from small purchase orders under $100,000 to major delivery orders exceeding $8 million, with the majority structured as firm fixed-price arrangements and several cost-plus-fixed-fee contracts. Notable subcontractors supporting Raytheon's federal work include Jabil Defense & Aerospace Services LLC for circuit card assemblies, Astronics Advanced Electronic Systems Corp. for data transfer devices, and various component suppliers including Abelconn LLC and Modern Manufacturing & Engineering, Inc. Many awards carried no set-aside designations, though a significant number supported Foreign Military Sales (FMS) cases to allied nations including NATO countries, Japan, and India, demonstrating the strategic importance of Raytheon's technologies to U.S. military interoperability and allied defense capabilities.

Raytheon Company holds a single-award indefinite delivery contract with the U.S. Army Communications-Electronics Command valued at $17,508,265 with a performance period through September 9, 2026. This firm fixed-price IDIQ contract is dedicated to the procurement of identification friend or foe (IFF) products and related systems in support of Army foreign military sales platforms and domestic military requirements. The contract encompasses a comprehensive product portfolio including APX-119 transponders, digital control panels, personality modules, KIV-77 crypto modules, crypto simulators, and mounting trays—enabling flexible procurement of communications and electronic capabilities for both U.S. military operations and authorized international partners. Multiple delivery orders have been issued under this primary vehicle, reflecting ongoing demand for cryptographic appliques, system training, radios, and specialized electronic components. The contract's structure as a single-award IDIQ allows Raytheon to respond rapidly to both U.S. military and foreign military sales requirements while leveraging established supply chains and technical relationships. Notably, this vehicle serves as the foundation for numerous task orders issued by CECOM and other Army-affiliated organizations, making it central to the division's federal contracting portfolio and demonstrating the Army's confidence in Raytheon's capabilities to deliver critical identification and communications systems essential to modern military operations.
