The Federal Aviation Administration obligated an additional $21,472,927.39 to Harris Corporation, a subsidiary of L3Harris Technologies, on July 20, 2026, according to contract transaction data on USASpending.gov. The action, designated modification P00126, is a funding-only add to Delivery Order 693KA821F00222 under the FAA Telecommunications Infrastructure (FTI) program. Per USASpending's award summary, cumulative obligations on the delivery order stand at $2,099,573,343.09; that figure does not yet reflect the July 20 modification, which the transaction ledger shows would bring the running total to approximately $2,121,046,270 once incorporated.

FTI is the FAA's telecommunications backbone connecting facilities across the National Airspace System, including air traffic control centers, radar sites and weather stations. The July 20 funding action follows L3Harris's announcement in May 2026 that it had passed the halfway mark in a multiyear effort to replace legacy copper connections with modern high-speed networks under the program, and precedes a separate July 1, 2026 announcement in which the FAA awarded L3Harris an airspace surveillance modernization contract. For contractors and subcontractors on FTI-related work, incremental delivery-order fundings such as this one are a routine indicator of program pace and available task-order dollars as the FAA works to accelerate its broader National Airspace System modernization.

The delivery order sits under IDIQ DTFA0102D03006, a single-award indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity vehicle with a life-of-contract ceiling of $108,853,073,269.98. The order was originally signed July 1, 2021, with a base period of performance through September 30, 2024; USASpending's period-of-performance data lists a potential end date of September 30, 2026, and the award record's last-modified date of June 29, 2026 reflects continued activity beyond the base period. The action is classified under NAICS code 517310 (Telecommunications Resellers) and PSC code DG11 (IT and Telecom - Network: Satellite Communications and Telecom Access Services), with place of performance recorded as Washington, D.C. The recipient's parent entity is listed as L3Harris Technologies, Inc., reflecting the 2019 Harris-L3 Technologies merger.
