Commercial Lead Training Ammunition (CLTA)

The Commercial Lead Training Ammunition (CLTA) Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract vehicle, managed by the Federal Law Enforcement Training Centers (FLETC), is designed to provide commercial lead training ammunition for law enforcement officer (LEO) training purposes. The contract covers a wide range of small arms ammunition types, including pistol, rifle, and shotgun rounds in various calibers and configurations. Specifically, the solicitation outlined requirements for ammunition types such as 9mm Luger, .40 S&W, .45 Auto, .223 Remington, 30-06 Springfield, 12 Gauge, and other specialized training rounds, with a focus on ammunition that can perform across different weapon platforms without requiring modifications.

The task orders under this IDIQ consistently demonstrate a pattern of relatively small to medium-sized purchases, typically ranging from $1,000 to $100,000, with most contracts having completion dates within the same fiscal year. Prime contractors Vista Outdoor Sales LLC and Olin Winchester LLC have been the predominant awardees, with task orders primarily supporting federal agencies including the Department of Justice (Bureau of Prisons), Department of Homeland Security, Department of the Interior (National Park Service), and various law enforcement training centers. None of the task orders utilized small business set-aside designations, indicating an unrestricted procurement approach. The places of performance are geographically diverse, spanning federal facilities across the United States, including training centers, correctional institutions, national parks, and regional law enforcement offices. The contracts consistently use firm fixed-price mechanisms and are designed to support ongoing training and operational ammunition requirements for federal personnel.
