Description
The United States Secret Service is seeking a contractor to supply three types of 9 mm ammunition—Luger +P duty rounds, frangible training rounds, and standard ball rounds—over a five‑year indefinite‑delivery/indefinite‑quantity (IDIQ) contract. The requirement calls for 8,000 cases of Luger +P, 2,000 cases of frangible, and 2,000 cases of ball per year (each case = 1,000 rounds), with strict performance specifications including bullet weight, non‑toxic frangible composition, and extensive ballistic gelatin testing. Offerors must be the actual ammunition manufacturer, must provide samples by 28 Oct 2026, and must comply with SAAMI, ANSI, ATF, and Federal Standard 123 marking and packaging rules. The award will be made on a lowest‑price‑technically‑acceptable basis, and the contract ceiling is up to $21 M with annual order limits of $4.2 M.
• Manufacture and deliver 9 mm Luger +P, frangible, and ball ammunition in 1,000‑round cases.
• Meet detailed technical criteria: 130‑150 gr bullet weight (± 3 gr), non‑toxic frangible composition, SAAMI pressure limits, and gelatin penetration/expansion metrics.
• Provide required documentation (QC/QA manuals, MSDS, certificates of conformance) and submit physical samples by 28 Oct 2026.
