FLETC Reduced Hazard Training Ammunition (FLETC FHTA)

The Department of Homeland Security Federal Law Enforcement Training Center established a Master IDIQ for reduced hazard training ammunition on December 7, 2015, with a shared ceiling of $72.7 million. Ordering closed December 6, 2020, and no new task orders may be placed against the vehicle.

The contract is fully obligated and no longer active for new orders. Of 820 task orders issued over a decade, the vehicle executed 254 orders between 2019 and 2021 (averaging 118 per year during peak activity), then dropped sharply to one order in 2022 and one in 2025—residual administrative activity after the ordering period closed. Combined task-order potential value stands at $44.4 million, with 100% of that amount obligated.

The IDIQ procures small arms ammunition for law enforcement training, including 9MM, .45 ACP, .40 S&W, .357 SIG, .38 Special, .380 Auto, .45 GAP, .223 Remington, and .308 Winchester in both full and reduced-recoil variants, as well as 12-gauge shotgun rounds (slug, buckshot, and steel shot). All orders are firm fixed price with no set-aside designations.

The Kinetic Group Sales LLC dominates the vehicle, capturing 530 of 820 task orders and $21.8 million of $44.4 million combined potential value. International Cartridge Corp follows with 106 orders and $11.7 million. Olin Corp and Norma Precision Inc. hold smaller positions. The top four primes account for roughly 97% of all task orders.

Customer concentration is similarly pronounced. The Federal Law Enforcement Training Center itself placed 97 orders valued at $29.8 million. The National Park Service Intermountain Region follows with 164 orders, but at only $521 thousand combined value—reflecting the long tail of small ammunition purchases from distributed park locations. Immigration and Customs Enforcement and multiple regional NPS offices account for the remaining orders in smaller lots.

Task-order values range from $382 to $1.019 million, with the majority in the low thousands to tens of thousands. Mega-orders included $1.019 million for 9MM ammunition (August 2021), $881.9 thousand for 9MM frangible rounds (May 2021), and $764.9 thousand for firearms division supplies (July 2021). Most orders complete within calendar or fiscal year windows. Place of performance spans federal law enforcement training facilities and National Park Service properties nationwide, plus select overseas training locations.
