Sole Source Justification

1. Agency and Contracting Activity.

The Department of Homeland Security, U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS), Office of Contracting (OCON), proposes to award a purchase order to General Dynamics Missions Systems, Inc. (GDMS) on behalf of the Office of Information Technology (OIT), Information Security Division (ISD), Security Governance Branch (SGB).

2. Nature and/or description of the item/service being procured and anticipated cost.

DHS/USCIS/OIT/ISD/SGB, with the support from OCON, prepared this justification for the procurement of five (5) Sectera vIPer Universal Secure Phones with Public Switched Telephone Network (PSTN) connect for multiple U.S. field offices to replace the current secure landline phones that are at the end of their life and repair thirty-three (33) units with cracked screens and/or malfunctions due to shipping issues.

Sectera vIPer Universal Secure Phones provide the latest technology for both non-secure and secure, end-to-end Voice over IP (VoIP) and analog networks, eliminating the need for multiple desktop phones. The vIPer phone is the only VoIP phone certified to protect information classified Top Secret (TS)/Sensitive Compartmented Information (SCI) and below over commercial wired networks. The vIPer works on standard analog networks or on IP networks using SCCP (Skinny Call Control Protocol) or Session Initiation Protocol (SIP)/Assured Services-SIP (AS-SIP). Additionally, no software update is required to transition between network protocols. The following items are included with the purchase of each Sectera vIPer Universal Phone: the PTSN connect adaptor, a RH-11 cable, the VoIP phone chassis, a handset with adjustable foot stand, two Ethernet cables, a power supply, the North American power cable, a user’s manual, and a two (2) year warranty.

GDMS is the sole developer, manufacturer, and supplier of the Certified Type 1 Sectera vIPer secure Voice over IP encryptor. GDMS is also the sole source original equipment manufacturer, distributor and owner of the software, repair/maintenance, warranty extensions, training and ancillaries for all Sectera product lines. While the Sectera vIPer phone is a proprietary design, the embedded security complies with SCIP Security, Performance, and Interoperability standards, allowing it to communicate with other Type 1 SCIP products, including the Secure Terminal Equipment (STE), which is the Government’s current encrypted landline telephone system.

CISAM 3013.106-1(a)(1)

For Simplified Acquisitions (over the micro-purchase threshold and up to the Simplified Acquisition Threshold (SAT)) pursuant to FAR 13.106, including Brand Name

SSJ No: FY23-0133

The Sectera vIPer secure phones provide USCIS, particularly the Fraud Detection and National Security (FDNS) Directorate, with a national network and infrastructure of secure communications that have the capability to share on a near real-time basis of classified information that meets field operational requirements and promotes sharing and collaboration initiatives between USCIS, law enforcement agencies, the Intelligence Community, and other stakeholders at the federal, state and local levels.

USCIS intends to procure the aforementioned phones and associated repairs from the following vendor:

General Dynamics Mission Systems, Inc. (GDMS) 8201 East McDowell Road

MD R3112

Scottsdale, AZ 85257 Unique Entity ID (UEI): MWDRZJ2ZVPV7

The Independent Government Cost Estimate (IGCE) for this requirement is .

Delivery for the five (5) new Sectera vIPer Universal Secure Phones will be required within forty-five (45) days of award and repairs for thirty-three (33) units will be required within one hundred and twenty (120) days of award.

3. Identification of the authority and rationale.

The proposed procurement will utilize simplified acquisition procedures and will be awarded on a sole source basis in accordance with FAR 13.106-1(b)(1) and as specified below.

Only one source reasonably available:

Other. Only one source is capable.

Rationale:

The National Security Agency (NSA) has discontinued their status as a vendor for the Sectera vIPer Universal Secure Phones and now goes directly to the developer, GDMS, to procure this product and the associated repair services. GDMS is the only provider of this product and the repairs at this time. The prior resellers were the General Services Administration (GSA) schedule vendors but have since been terminated from the GDMS resale program due to security concerns raised. NSA currently only certifies for use, the direct purchase from GDMS and only through a Communication Security (COMSEC) account.
