FA862020F4837 — BIG SAFARI

The BIG SAFARI contract (FA862020F4837) is held by L-3 COMMUNICATIONS CORPORATION for the Department of Defense (DOD). It has an obligated value of $47.7M and an estimated value of $164.3M. The period of performance ended May 31, 2025. The typical 12–18-month capture window has closed; recompete action is overdue — watch for a follow-on solicitation or bridge, not an upcoming open date. L-3 COMMUNICATIONS CORPORATION accounts for 1.5% of lane-scoped obligated dollars ($90.8M of $6.1B) in this NAICS/PSC lane (not firm-wide) at DOD over the trailing window. With only one bidder on this effort and flat budget direction, the incumbent faces limited immediate competition but an overdue recompete cycle.
