Scope:

• The estimated number of rounds fired per month is 61,440

• TSA will provide all ammunition, targets and firearms instructors

• TSA estimates that it will require 360 hours of range time per year. Additional hours may be necessary for a variety of reasons (e.g. hiring surges, changes in training requirements, instructor training, remediation etc.). Any additional hours are inherently considered to be within the scope of the contract, as the contract is intended to provide for all firearms training needs of the Training Center.

However, this is NOT a requirements contract. Any increase in the number of contracted hours can only be made by the Contracting Officer and will be done via written contract modification. No on-site changes are authorized.
