About this opportunity
The Department of the Air Force Materiel Command awarded a firm fixed-price contract valued at $69.7 million to General Dynamics Mission Systems, Inc. for KIV-78A Mode 5 Cryptographic Applique equipment production on May 7, 2026.
The award was made on a sole-source basis under 10 USC 3204(a)(1), with no set-aside. GDMS, located in Scottsdale, Arizona, is the original equipment manufacturer of the legacy KIV-78 system and holds NSA High Assurance Certification for IFF Mode 5 Crypto Applique. The contracting activity is the Air Force Life Cycle Management Center (AFLCMC), Cryptologic and Cyber Systems Division, at Joint Base San Antonio-Lackland, Texas. The contract covers a 60-month ordering period and encompasses production of 400–300 appliques, 1,706–1,224 circuit card assemblies, 700 conversion kits, and one depot test station, along with engineering support, travel, and training. The justification determined that introducing a competing vendor would result in substantial cost duplication and unacceptable delays, with an estimated six-year development timeline required for an alternative source.
