Harris Corporation has recently been awarded a $45 million contract to support Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) tactical communications networks. The contract, awarded through the five-year, $3 billion DHS Tactical Communications (TacCom) indefinite delivery/indefinite quantity contract vehicle, calls on Harris to provide land mobile and tactical solutions under all five technical categories of the TacCom contract vehicle.
The firm will team with Computer Sciences Corporation and other subcontractors to provide round-the-clock technical support for the frontline operations of approximately 15,000 law enforcement officers. The firm will also support the agency’s existing tactical communications networks at multiple locations in the continental U.S., Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands.
“Harris and its teammates will sustain legacy systems and provide cost-effective, interoperable services for those who depend on reliable communications,” said Wayne Lucernoni, president, Harris IT Services. “Tactical communications systems must integrate seamlessly to support essential operations, and we are committed to helping our first responders to exchange real-time intelligence in support of our nation’s security.”
