Explanation
BACKGROUND: The purchase of 40-caliber ammunition is needed by the Division of Police for in-service training, for qualification of police officers and for replacement of service ammunition. Approximately 560,000 rounds of ammunition are needed for practice, training, and in-service use. There is a significant lead time for ammunition orders. Therefore, orders need to be placed now to ensure that Police will have ammunition for practice and training. Additional types of ammunition are needed for training for other types of weapons, including .45 caliber, 9mm pistols, rifles, and shotguns.
