As such, L3Harris makes significant investments in the initial qualification and subsequent continuous training of its certified L3Harris trainers and considers these specific certified instructors to be the sole personnel authorized to conduct official L3Harris training to include the L3Harris Operator and Level 3 Maintenance training courses. Market research was conducted and has confirmed that the above company is able to meet the government's needs. Accordingly, a sole source award will be made to L3Harris Technologies, Inc.
