SOLE SOURCE STATEMENT
for TACLANE®, Sectéra® vIPer™ and ProtecD@R® Product Lines.
To Whom It May Concern:
This letter serves as a notice that 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:
The TACLANE Product family includes the in-line network (INE) encryptors (KG-235, KG-175, KG-175A, KG-175B, KG-175D, KG-175F, KG-175G, KG-175X, KG-175N and C175N).
The Sectéra product family includes the Sectéra INE (KG-235), Sectéra vIPer Phone, TalkSecure vIPer, Sectéra Wireline Terminal (SWT), Sectéra Edge and Sectera GSM Phone.
The ProtecD@R family includes the KG-204, KG-411; KG-540A; KG-540B, DaR-400ES, DaR-400EX.
GDMS is also the sole source OEM, distributor and owner of the Software (including VLAN, TTS, PEP and GEM One, GDS software), Repair/Maintenance, Warranty extensions, Training and Ancillaries (rack mounts, power supplies, cables, power adapters, handsets, optics) for all Product Lines listed above.
Certified Type 1 Communications Security (COMSEC) / Controlled Cryptographic Items (CCI) Products have reselling restrictions imposed by the National Security Agency (NSA), therefore GDMS does not currently have Value Added/Authorized Resellers for the Product Lines listed above, however suppliers with a valid Government contract and a need to buy COMSEC/CCI equipment (subject to verification on behalf of NSA) can provide Certified Type 1 COMSEC Product to the Government Agencies.
NSA is the controlling authority and a certifier for the sale of GDMS TACLANE 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.
Further, GDMS Secure Network and Voice Products (SNVP) are manufactured in GDMS Taunton MA and Scottsdale AZ facilities.
If you have any questions, please contact the GDMS SNVP Contracts.
Thank you, Allie Stanzione, Senior Contracts Manager GDMS, Inc.
