About this opportunity
The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives issued a sole-source justification for procurement of Ultimate Training Munitions (UTM) branded 9mm and 5.56 training ammunition by September 25, 2026. UTM is the sole manufacturer of the specified ammunition platforms used in ATF's mandatory biannual tactical training for Special Agents. The procurement consists of two orders totaling approximately $380 thousand: the first order for $193,398.40 covers 80 cases of 9mm UTM UTX (Part #01-3101) and 98 cases of 5.56 UTM ammunition (Part #01-0815); the second order for $187,055.47 covers 87 cases of 9mm UTM UTX and 99 cases of 5.56 UTM ammunition. All ammunition is specified in red color. ATF's Special Operations Division determined that sole-source procurement under 41 U.S. Code 3304 is justified because the agency currently standardizes on this training platform and no alternative ammunition meets its tactical training requirements. Although the product was removed from GSA Schedule in FY 2025, the Contracting Officer solicited three small business distributors to validate pricing, with UTM providing the lowest quote. Each order carries a 180-day period of performance from award. Drop-shipment will occur to various ATF locations throughout the continental United States.
