This is a Single Source requirement. General Dynamics Mission Systems, Inc. (“GDMS”) is the sole source manufacturer (Original Equipment Manufacturer - OEM), distributor and owner of the Certified Type 1 Encryptor Product Lines. GDMS is the sole distributor of this item. There are no other authorized distributors for this product. A letter was obtained from the manufacturer to confirm this detail.
The TACLANE Product family includes the in-line network (INE) encryptors (KG-175, KG-175A, KG-175B, KG-175D, KG-175F, KG-175G, KG-175X, KG-175N, C175N, KG-185A, KG-185B, KGV-185B and KGV-185C).
The Sectéra product family includes the Sectéra INE (KG-235), Sectéra vIPer Phone, TalkSecure vIPer, Sectéra Wireline Terminal (SWT), Sectéra Edge and Sectéra GSM Phone.

NSA is the controlling authority and a certifier for the sale of GDMS TACLANE® and Sectéra® vIPer™ Encryption products. Per NSA MOA, requirements dictate that all CCI equipment must ship to a COMSEC approved location.
Additionally, each COMSEC item must be verified with the Government and have a valid Government Contract associated with the purchase. COMSEC orders cannot ship without verification of these requirements.
