PLEASE READ THIS ENTIRE NOTICE CAREFULLY AS IT CONSTITUES THE ONLY

NOTICE THAT WILL BE ISSUED.

This is a combined synopsis and solicitation for commercial items prepared in accordance with the format in FAR Subpart 12.6-Streamlined Procedures for Evaluation and Solicitation for Commercial Items, as supplemented with additional information included in this notice. This announcement constitutes the only solicitation; quotations are being requested and a written solicitation will not be issued. In accordance with FAR 52.203(a)(2) this solicitation will be posted for less than fifteen (15) days. Request for Quote (RFQ) Number is N66604-25-Q-0514.

The Naval Undersea Warfare Center Division Newport (NUWCDIVNPT) intends to award a Firm Fixed Price Type purchase order to General Dynamics (GD) on a Sole Source basis in accordance with FAR 13.106-1(b). GD is the only known source that can provide the below required items.

This notice of intent is not a request for competitive proposals. A determination by the Government not to compete the proposed contract based upon responses to this notice is solely within the discretion of the Government. All responsible sources may submit a capability statement, proposal, or quotation which shall be considered by the agency. Information received will normally be considered solely for the purpose of determining whether to conduct a competitive procurement. This requirement is being awarded to GD because the TACLANE is the only approved Inline Network Encryptor which is integral to our existing systems and it is only manufactured by GD. It would require exorbitant non-recurring engineering, testing, and time in order to replace, if even possible.

See the table below for the required item:
