Navy Awards $383M Radio Systems Contract to L3Harris

L3 Harris Technologies will deliver radio systems with National Security Agency certified Type 1 encryption, radio ancillaries, provisioning kits and required documentation to the U.S. Navy under a $383M firm-fixed-price, indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity contract supporting procured high-frequency radio systems.

Work on the effort will be performed in Rochester, New York, and is expected to be completed by March 2025. The contract was not competitively procured as L3Harris was identified as the only source capable of fulfilling the requirement, the Department of Defense said Tuesday.

Under the contract, L3Harris will deliver RF-300H-MP portable HF receiver transmitters manpack systems, vehicle-based HF systems, transit case HF systems, their ancillary components and instructor training for the Program Manager of Communications Systems.

Fiscal 2020 U.S. Marine Corps funds amounting to $89M will be obligated on the first delivery order immediately following contract award and will not expire at the end of the current fiscal year.
