About this opportunity
The Department of the Air Force Air Mobility Command awarded a sole-source task order to General Dynamics Mission Systems for TACLANE operator training on September 14, 2026, under a justification citing exclusive proprietary rights and only one responsible source.
The four-day training course integrates classroom instruction and hands-on exercises covering operational use of TACLANE encryptor models and Global Enterprise Management (GEM) One software for ten students, with exam administration and certificates of completion. The justification cites 10 U.S.C. 3204(a)(1) and asserts that GDMS, as the designer, developer, and manufacturer of TACLANE systems, holds exclusive proprietary rights to source code, system architecture, engineering schematics, and configuration software (GEM One Encryptor Manager, VLAN, and PEP) that third-party vendors are legally and technically restricted from teaching. The contracting officer conducted market analysis through a Sources Sought notice posted to SAM.gov (FA440726QTACL) from August 13 to August 19, 2026, which yielded two responses: BHPE LLC submitted a non-substantive response, and O'Ready indicated it would coordinate training through GDMS. The task order value is under $10 million. Place of performance and administrative oversight are with Headquarters Air Mobility Command, 375th Contracting Squadron. The justification identifies intellectual property restrictions and lack of alternative certified training providers as barriers to competition.
