PSC Category 1305 encompasses ammunition through 30mm, primarily focusing on small arms and specialized ammunition for federal law enforcement, military, and training purposes. This category includes a wide range of ammunition types, such as duty rounds, training ammunition, frangible rounds, and specialty cartridges for various calibers including 9mm, .223/5.56mm, .50 caliber, and others. The ammunition serves critical operational needs across multiple federal agencies, supporting training, operational readiness, and specialized mission requirements. Federal contract awards in this category demonstrate consistent procurement activity, with values ranging from $1,741 to $6,578,331. Frequently awarded contractors include Vista Outdoor Sales LLC, Hornady Manufacturing Company, and International Cartridge Corp. The Department of Homeland Security, Department of Justice, Department of Veterans Affairs, and Department of Defense are primary funding agencies. Notably, many awards are firm fixed-price delivery orders under indefinite delivery vehicles, with contract durations typically spanning one to five years. Set-aside designations vary, with some contracts open to all businesses and others reserved for small businesses, including service-disabled veteran-owned small businesses. Recent federal contract opportunities reflect diverse ammunition requirements across government agencies. The Naval Sea Systems Command has solicited procurements for specialized long-range ammunition like 5.56mm and 6.5mm Creedmoor cartridges. The Federal Law Enforcement Training Center seeks commercial lead training ammunition, while the Department of Veterans Affairs is interested in law enforcement duty and training ammunition. The Department of State has issued a pre-solicitation for international law enforcement ammunition requirements. Most opportunities are set aside for small businesses and involve precise technical specifications for ammunition to support training, operational, and mission-critical needs across various federal agencies.
