They fab their own chips if it isn't commercially available. 
Cryptograhpic chips they do themselves for security reasons.  They don't 
want a vendor to know how it works.  I don't know if you have heard 
about the 350Mhz cpu chip fabbed in 1965.
Somewere on NSAs website, www.nsa.gov, there is a release program to 
corporations for advanced technology that they deem should be useful for 
public use.

Anyway, since when did the nsa ever obey the law?
