About this file
This document contains a brand name justification for a federal contract opportunity issued by the United States Department of Agriculture. The justification requests non-toxic .223 caliber, 62 grain REX-NB bullet rifle rounds for use in the agency's aerial feral swine removal program. The brand name justification is required because the custom REX-NB bullet has demonstrated superior field performance and increased efficiency, effectiveness, and safety for the program over other non-toxic rifle ammunition options currently available. The estimated price per round is $1.40 to $1.55, and the sole recommended supplier is Lake Martin Machine Gun located in Eclectic, Alabama.

2. Description of supply or service required to meet the agency’s needs.
Non-toxic .223 caliber, 62 grain REX-NB bullet, rifle round
3. The rationale or circumstances for limiting competition.
USDA, APHIS, WS program has evaluated numerous manufacturer’s non-toxic rifle ammunition (calibers, bullet weights and bullet types/designs) for the removal of feral swine in our aerial program.
The use of lead free ammunition is a program requirement for this type of operation. Based on field performance the custom non-toxic .223 caliber, 62 grain REX-NB rifle bullet has clearly demonstrated to be the most effective and lethal .223 rifle round currently in the marketplace for feral swine removal.
Utilization of this round has increased the efficiency, effectiveness, and safety of our feral swine aerial operations.
4. A description of the market research conducted and the results or a statement of the reason market research was not conducted.
A review of numerous manufacturer websites and catalogs has identified a limited number of sources for the 62 grain REX-NB bullet, .223 rifle round.
5. Estimated price, including all options, if applicable.
$1.40 – 1.55 per round
6. Recommended source(s).
