L3Harris Technologies (NYSE: LHX) has secured a potential seven-year, $479 million contract to manufacture and deliver next-generation tactical communications radios to U.S. Special Operations Command.

 The indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity contract has an ordering period of seven years and covers the provision of associated sustainment and support services, the Department of Defense said Wednesday.

USSOCOM launched an open and full competition for the single-award contract and will obligate $2.5 million in fiscal 2024 procurement funds.

Delivery orders may be awarded and funded using the command’s budget for procurement, operations and maintenance and research, development, testing and evaluation.

L3Harris also produces and delivers AN/PRC-158 and AN/PRC-163 Manpack and Leader radios to the Army under production orders worth more than $247 million.
