Description
The notice is for informational purposes only IAW DFARS PGI 206.302-1(d). This is not a formal request for quote (RFQ) or proposal (RFP). Responses in any form are not offers and the Government is under no obligation to award a contract as a result of this announcement. United States Special Operations Command (USSOCOM) has the need to procure National Security Agency (NSA)-approved Tactical Type-1, Tactical Local Area Network Encryption (TACLANE) GigE products, KG-175F, KG-175X, TACLANE Agile software (TL-VLAN) to secure classified information. In accordance with paragraphs 6.1 and 6.3 of Department of Defense Instruction (DoDI) 8523.01, Communications Security (COMSEC), "Only National Security Agency / Central Security Service (NSA/CSS)-approved COMSEC products and services shall be used to secure classified information" and "DoD Components shall acquire COMSEC products and services through NSA/CSS, which serves as the centralized COMSEC acquisition authority. If the products and services are unavailable through centralized procurement, the DoD Components shall acquire them directly from commercial entities that are authorized by the NSA/CSS to sell such products and services." TACLANE encryptors are COMSEC products. The NSA has approved Government agencies to procure this item directly from General Dynamics Mission Systems (GDMS). Thus, a determination not to compete this proposed contract may be made pursuant to the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) 6.302-1, only one source is capable of satisfying the agency's requirements. This determination would be based on the fact that GDMS is the sole manufacturer of the TACLANE GigE tactical encryption products approved by the NSA. The agency is aware of no other products exist that have been approved by the NSA to secure classified information in a tactical local area network environment in accordance with DoDI 8523.01. Per FAR 5.207(c)(16)(ii), all responsible sources may submit additional capability statements that will be considered by the agency. Any party responding to this notice shall send clear, factual documentation demonstrating their ability to execute this requirement. All replies must be provided to the Government no later than 3 SEP, at 4:00 p.m. Eastern Standard Time. All inquiries and responses concerning this action shall be sent in writing via e-mail to: Antonino.D.Lenora.civ@socom.mil, with courtesy copy to Rory.T.Martin.civ@socom.mil. Senders are responsible for ensuring the complete transmission and timely receipt.
