Ammunition

The District of Columbia Office of Contracting and Procurement (OCP) is conducting a procurement solicitation on behalf of the Metropolitan Police Department for training and duty ammunition. The contract opportunity, identified by the unique ID 66c860db829eb5d869076dce, seeks contractors capable of supplying specialized ammunition for law enforcement purposes. While specific technical requirements are not detailed in the provided information, the procurement appears focused on securing high-quality ammunition that meets professional standards for police training and operational use. The posted date for this opportunity is June 1, 2010, with an unusual due date listed as December 30, 1899, which may indicate a potential data entry error in the original documentation. Potential bidders would be expected to demonstrate expertise in ammunition manufacturing, distribution, and compliance with law enforcement procurement standards.

The contract opportunity does not explicitly specify set-aside designations or restrictions on vendor participation. No incumbent vendors or specific budget ranges are mentioned in the provided information. Given the nature of the procurement for a municipal police department, potential respondents would likely need to possess federal firearms licensing, meet strict quality control standards, and have proven experience supplying ammunition to law enforcement agencies. Vendors would presumably need to demonstrate capabilities in producing both training and duty-grade ammunition that meets specific ballistic and performance specifications. While precise award value is not disclosed, municipal law enforcement ammunition contracts typically range from moderate to significant financial values depending on the quantity and specifications required.
