Harris Corporation, doing business as Harris Radio Frequency Communication, Rochester, N.Y., is being awarded a guaranteed minimum $26,995,659 firm-fixed-price, indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity contract for the acquisition of communications subsystems replacement parts/equipment. This contract contains options, which if exercised, would bring the not-to-exceed value of the contract $78,000,000. Due to the continuous use, much of the equipment needs to have replacement performed to allow the systems to function as designed.

This ILO will use Congressional funds that were designated for Cost of War repair or replacement of lost, damaged or stolen equipment components for the NECC units that are deployed in support of the Global War on Terrorism. Work will be performed in Rochester, N.Y., and work is expected to be completed August 2012. Contract funds will not expire at the end of the current fiscal year. This contract was not competitively procured due to this contractor being the only responsible source and no other supplies or services will satisfy agency requirements.
