This document is a notice of intent to award a sole source contract from the United States Special Operations Command (USSOCOM) to General Dynamics Mission Systems (GDMS). USSOCOM requires National Security Agency (NSA)-approved Tactical Type-1, Tactical Local Area Network Encryption (TACLANE) GigE products, including the KG-175D, KG-175G, KG-175F, and KG-175X encryptors and associated ancillaries to securely communicate over classified networks. Due to COVID-19 restrictions, the NSA has approved government agencies to directly procure these encryption devices from GDMS between April 9, 2020 and July 9, 2020. As GDMS is the sole manufacturer of the required TACLANE GigE tactical encryption products approved by the NSA, USSOCOM will negotiate a firm fixed price purchase order not exceeding $2.65 million with GDMS for the devices, with anticipated delivery within 90 days of order receipt. Responses to the notice were due by June 3, 2020.
