The firing range must accommodate various ammunition types, including 9mm, .40 caliber handgun rounds, .223 Remington rounds, and 12-gauge shotgun rounds. Interested vendors must submit their responses via email to Contracting Officer Robert Kay by February 19, 2025, at 3:00 P.M. ET in MS Word or Adobe PDF format.
