Commercial Lead Training Ammunition (CLTA)

The Department of Homeland Security Federal Law Enforcement Training Center (FLETC) awarded a Master IDIQ for commercial lead training ammunition (CLTA) on October 3, 2019, with a shared ceiling of $71,795,978; the last date to place orders against the vehicle was September 30, 2024, and ordering is now closed. All 510 task orders awarded under the vehicle carry no set-aside designation. The vehicle established six years ago remains fully obligated at $21.3 million across all 510 awards, with the most recent order placed in June 2025, indicating sustained customer activity well beyond the formal ordering deadline.

The Kinetic Group Sales LLC dominates the vehicle by volume and value, holding 366 of 510 orders (72% of all awards) and $15 million in combined potential value (70% of total). Olin Winchester LLC ranks second with 110 orders and $4.9 million in value. The remaining four primes—Vital Mission Solutions LLC, SIG Sauer Inc., Southern Ballistic Research LLC—collectively hold a narrow long tail, with only $1.2 million in combined potential value. This concentration is decisive: two firms account for roughly 84% of awarded dollars.

Customer ordering is heavily concentrated within the Federal Law Enforcement Training Center itself, which placed 107 orders worth $15.2 million (71% of combined potential value). The National Park Service regional offices (Intermountain, Northeast, Southeast, and Pacific West regions) collectively placed 162 orders, but their combined value represents less than 2% of the vehicle's total. A wide range of secondary customers—federal prisons, the Defense Criminal Investigation Service, the Secret Service, and field law enforcement agencies across Interior and other civilian agencies—round out a portfolio serving 102 distinct customer organizations, though 102 distinct agencies mask the 53% concentration held by the top five customers alone.

Task orders range from under $500 to approximately $1.13 million, with most routine orders clustered between $10,000 and $40,000. Two outsized orders in late 2024—one to Vista Outdoor for $1,130,764.77 (9MM Luger 147-grain JHP) and another for $786,285.00 (multi-caliber CLTA)—account for roughly 8% of all obligated value. Typical orders procure pistol ammunition (9MM in multiple grain weights and geometries, .40 S&W, .45 Auto, .38 Special, .380 Auto), rifle rounds (.223 REM, .30-06, .308 WIN in various loads including match-grade), and shotgun loads (12-gauge target, buckshot, and slug variants). Pricing is firm-fixed across all orders. Award frequency accelerated from 94 orders per year in 2021 to 129 in 2024, and ordering continued through mid-2025 despite the September 2024 deadline, signaling either late-arriving orders or administrative processing lag.

The vehicle is no longer available for new orders as of September 30, 2024. Pursuit is tactically limited unless you hold an incumbent prime position or can displace existing awardees on their next renewal or successor vehicle.

The Federal Law Enforcement Training Centers (FLETC), Glynco, Georgia has awarded a Master IDIQ for commercial lead training ammunition (CLTA) strictly for law enforcement officer (LEO) training purposes in various calibers and gauges of small arms rounds.
