I also thought I saw a line order for 10mm ammo. I’m not aware of any agency or part of the military that uses 10mm. Too hot, they went with the 40 SW. Also, looked liked a fair amount of 45 ACP. There may be some special forces and a few police depts that use the 45 but beyond that I’m not aware of any official usage. Also, 357 sig and 357 mag. 357 sig never really caught on and 357 mag isn’t used much in official capacities anymore that I’m aware of.
This is a lot of ammo across a lot of calibers.
The calibers required is addressed in the paperwork further down. Some of this goes to FLETC, but the supplier is also required to ship to other locations. What it looks like is a open-ended ‘shell’ type contract that allows agencies to order from it rather than go through a separate procedure to let a departmental contract. As long as the ordering agencies don’t exceed the number for their caliber that the contract enumerates they are good to go. It also looks like that the total number of rounds/caliber is going to be broke down monthly/year of the contract. So the supplier won’t be required to deliver if an agency exceeds the quantity authorized for a particular month.
Most of the .357 Sig is for the TSA. I was unaware that TSA was armed at all, let alone armed with that round.
The weapon reqmnts are on pg 49 of the link in #44.
Someone mentioned that they saw 7.62X39. Could this be a hidden purchase for the State Department, for a foreign affair/as well?
