The Federal Law Enforcement Training Centers (FLETC) Reduced Hazard Training Ammunition (FLETC FHTA) Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract vehicle is designed to procure specialized reduced hazard training ammunition for federal law enforcement and security personnel. The contract enables federal agencies to purchase various calibers of frangible and lead-free ammunition, including .223 Remington, 9mm, .40 S&W, .45 ACP, and other small arms rounds specifically engineered for training purposes. These ammunition types are designed to minimize ricochets and minimize potential injury during law enforcement and security training scenarios, making them ideal for realistic scenario-based training environments.

The contract vehicle has been predominantly utilized by agencies within the Department of Homeland Security, including Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), Transportation Security Administration (TSA), and Customs and Border Protection (CBP), as well as the Department of the Interior's National Park Service. Prime contractors like Vista Outdoor Sales LLC, International Cartridge Corp, and Olin Winchester LLC have been frequent awardees, with delivery order values ranging from a few hundred dollars to over $1 million. Task orders typically have completion dates within the same fiscal year, with most ranging between 3-12 months. The contract vehicle consistently uses firm fixed pricing and has no specific small business set-aside designations. Performance locations are diverse, including ammunition manufacturers' facilities in states like Pennsylvania, Illinois, and Minnesota, as well as delivery locations at various federal training centers, law enforcement facilities, and national parks across the United States.
