Ammunition Program

The Internal Revenue Service seeks ammunition for its Criminal Investigation Division through an Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity contract, with quotes due September 8, 2026. This is a total small business set-aside under NAICS 332992 (Small Arms Ammunition Manufacturing).

Place of performance includes multiple IRS-CI field offices nationwide across Northern, Southern, and Western Domestic Field Office areas, with delivery required within 60 days of order placement. The procurement covers seven line items of duty and training ammunition: 9mm pistol ammunition in four variants (service full-size bonded, full metal jacket training, reduced-lead training, and frangible training) and .223 Remington/5.56 NATO rifle ammunition in three variants (service, full metal jacket training, and frangible training). Base year (September 21, 2026 through September 20, 2027) quantities total approximately 3,455 rounds across all line items, with four option years extending through September 20, 2031. Option year quantities increase to approximately 1,300 to 500 rounds per line item annually. The minimum and maximum order thresholds are both $7,011,116.99.

The solicitation applies the FAR Nonmanufacturer Rule: all ammunition must be manufactured by domestic small business manufacturers, with no SBA class or individual waiver granted. Offerors proposing brand-name-or-equal products must comply. Salient characteristics are caliber, grain weight, and style; bonded jacket-to-core retention and total metal jacket construction are binding construction requirements for specified line items. The government intends to award a single firm fixed-price IDIQ contract to the lowest price technically acceptable offeror using FAR 52.212 commercial items provisions. This procurement is designated Law Enforcement Sensitive under FAR 6.305(e)(f) and shall not be advertised or publicized. Contracting officer is Jose Munoz (Jose.R.MunozJr@irs.gov, 949-638-7496).
