About this opportunity
The Department of the Navy Information Warfare Systems Command has awarded a sole-source delivery order under the NASA SEWP V Government-Wide Acquisition Contract to General Dynamics Mission Systems for KG-175X (TACLANE) Cyber Capable Encryptor hardware units on September 24, 2026.
General Dynamics is the only responsible source capable of providing the KG-175X, an NSA-certified Controlled Cryptographic Item designed to secure high-speed communications over local and wide-area networks. The device is unique and highly specialized; General Dynamics is the sole designer, manufacturer, and direct distributor, and strict supply chain accountability mandates preclude third-party commercial reselling. Market research confirmed that while multiple vendors hold SEWP contracts, none are authorized by the NSA or the manufacturer to supply this hardware. The statutory authority cited is 10 U.S.C. 3406(c), as implemented by FAR 16.505(b)(2)(i)(B), permitting awards when only one awardee is capable of providing supplies at the required quality level because supplies are unique or highly specialized. Commercial procedures under FAR Part 12 were used in conjunction with FAR 16.505. The period of performance is up to six months, with funding from Other Procurement, Navy appropriations. The Contracting Officer determined the price fair and reasonable based on catalog pricing under NASA SEWP V, historical Navy pricing, and independent government cost estimates. No sources expressed written interest.
