Recent Homeland Security Contracts

Denise Holmes * Keys To Liberty

Part of the reason for all of the ammunition purchases of last fall, deals with the end of the budget for the federal corporation. After working for a government contractor I understand that at the end of the fiscal year, they have to spend their excess to be funded more in the future. Things have quieted down somewhat, but Homeland Security, under FEMA, is continuing to fortify positions in several areas.

It seems that firing ranges are now on the agenda. They want one in Southern Nevada located 20 miles from Las Vegas, Nevada and from the description it is for semi automatic pistol firing. That isn’t the only place they are seeking a firing range. They want to lease one in theChesapeake,Virginia area. Both of these contracts have little to do with border security, others below will.  

Here is one for ammunition there are several changes, 4 to be exact, 3 for cancellation and the 4th one for an auction for the lowest bid. For the final requirements, they are asking for 176,000 Boat Tail, match ammunition, hollow point for a 308 caliber. It must be delivered within 30 days of acceptance of the bid.
Here is one for 9mm Luger, 124 grain, jacketed hollow point Duty ammunition. The contract has already been awarded at 4,870,008. 50, you can probably imagine how much 9mm ammunition can be purchased for almost 5 million dollars.
This one appears as training ammunition for 40 caliber Smith and Wesson. They are noting the distinction as ‘training’ and not asking for hollow point ammunition, that appears on duty ammunition only, but not always. In the pdf file they want to know how much ammunition can be supplied by the performer of this contract.
This contract is for duty ammunition for 223, 64 grain , the quantity is255,000 rounds. Small in number to the purchases of the fall.

Other contracts of interest deal with Biometrics Systems, 660 such machines called “L-1 Identity Solutions LiveScan”. If you do a search on L-1 Identity Solutions Live Scan, there will be lots of other government agencies looking for the same. The are touch screen identifiers that catalog your finger print. Of the 660 machines they want 440 cabinet style, 100 desktop style and 120 mobile machines.
It is probably a sign of increasing the policing powers throughout the United States.
