About this file
This is a Sole Source Statement from General Dynamics Mission Systems, Inc. (GDMS) establishing that the company is the exclusive manufacturer, Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM), distributor, and owner of three certified Type 1 encryption product lines: TACLANE (including in-line network encryptors KG-235, KG-175, KG-175A, KG-175B, KG-175D, KG-175F, KG-175G, KG-175X, KG-175N, and C175N); Sectéra (including INE, vIPer Phone, TalkSecure vIPer, Sectéra Wireline Terminal, Sectéra Edge, and Sectéra GSM Phone); and ProtecD@R (KG-204, KG-411, KG-540A, KG-540B, DaR-400ES, DaR-400EX). GDMS is also the sole source for associated software (VLAN, TTS, PEP, GEM One, and GDS software), repair and maintenance services, warranty extensions, training, and ancillary items including rack mounts, power supplies, cables, power adapters, handsets, and optics.
The statement clarifies that Certified Type 1 Communications Security (COMSEC) and Controlled Cryptographic Items (CCI) products are subject to National Security Agency (NSA) reselling restrictions, preventing GDMS from establishing Value Added or Authorized Resellers. However, government suppliers with valid government contracts and NSA verification may procure and provide these certified products to federal agencies. All CCI equipment must ship to NSA-approved locations and be verified with the government prior to shipment; COMSEC orders cannot be processed without verification of these requirements. GDMS manufactures the Secure Network and Voice Products (SNVP) at facilities in Taunton, Massachusetts and Scottsdale, Arizona. Contact information for inquiries is provided for Allie Stanzione, Senior Contracts Manager.

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.
