WASHINGTON, DC — Harris Corporation (NYSE:HRS), an international communications and information technology company, has been awarded a $60 million contract by the U.S. Air Force to continue work under the first-year option for the Network and Space Operations and Maintenance (NSOM) program. The NSOM program contains a six-month base contract and six one-year options that bring the potential overall value to $405 million over six-and-a-half-years.
