Insight
L-3 COMMUNICATIONS CORPORATION’s obligations in the last full year were highly concentrated at the Department of the Air Force, which accounted for $279.10 million across 167 awards, or nearly all of the vendor’s $281.28 million total. The Department of the Navy and Department of the Army were distant secondary obligors at $3.58 million and $1.95 million, respectively, with all other agencies contributing negligible amounts. Negative obligations at the U.S. Coast Guard, DCMA, and Federal Acquisition Service partially offset gross awards, indicating some deobligation activity outside the core Air Force relationship.
