Handgun, Rifle, and Shotgun Ammunition

The Texas Department of Criminal Justice's Institutional Division has awarded a term contract to Kiesler Police Supply Inc. for the procurement of handgun ammunition. The contract, identified as 25069749, covers the supply of .38 caliber full metal jacket centerfire pistol ammunition with specific technical specifications: 130 grain weight, 800 feet per second muzzle velocity, and 185 foot-pounds of muzzle energy. The contract provides for the delivery of 445 cases, with each case containing 1,000 rounds, to be distributed statewide.

The contract has a defined performance period from February 3, 2025, to February 28, 2026, with a cumulative value of $199,026.25. The unit price for each case of ammunition is $447.25, indicating a strategic procurement approach for equipping law enforcement personnel within the Texas criminal justice system. The term contract structure suggests ongoing, potentially recurring ammunition requirements for the state's correctional institutions, with the potential for standardized ammunition specifications to support consistent operational readiness.
