BPA Contract for Mobile Radios Awarded

The U.S. Government awarded a Blanket Purchase Agreement (BPA) contract to thirteen companies. PRNewswire reports that Harris Corporation was one of the companies qualified. Under the BPA the companies can compete for various orders of radios for the Departments of Agriculture, Interior and for the F.B.I Training Academy. Harris is a leading manufacturer of military radios for the world market. They recently moved into the public safety market. If all parts of the contract are exercised then the total value could reach $500 million. Under a BPA there is no guarantee that all thirteen companies will be awarded anything.
