Harris Corporation awarded $228 million IDIQ SPAWAR contract

Harris Corporation, headquartered in Melbourne, FL, announced August 3 that it has been awarded an IDIQ contract with a ceiling value of $228 million to support the U.S. Navy’s maritime mine countermeasures (MCM) efforts. The five-year contract includes a three-year base and two one-year options.

The Space and Naval Warfare (SPAWAR) Systems Center Pacific in San Diego, California, awarded Harris the contract to provide surface and subsurface unmanned maritime systems solutions. Harris will provide solutions to support current systems and future technologies in MCM; anti-submarine warfare; intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance; and force protection.

Harris will compete for task orders for specification and design, fabrication, installation, test and evaluation, fielding, maintenance, training, and configuration and program management of both hardware and software. Harris’ deep MCM expertise stems from more than 30 years of experience supporting Navy explosive ordnance disposal programs.
