This time, the request is for 165-grain jacketed hollow point .40 caliber(100,000), 115-grain jacketed hollow point 9mm (100,000),  and 124-grain ball round 9mm (40,000) were listed on the solicitation, with the end date for the request being 11 Feb 2013, only 6 days for a company to produce a quote. Currently, only A2Z Supply Corporation has thrown its name in the hat for this bid.

This request comes only weeks after an award of 200,000 rounds of training ammunition given to The Evian Group, Inc. A corporate entity that appears to have been formed out of thin air with less substance than fog. The company’s address doesn’t exist, and the whole bidding process looks like a Chicago-style payoff.

Given that in the past few years, DHS has ordered hundreds of millions of rounds, and still has an ungodly amount at its disposal; this chart will make the ammunition purchases into perspective:
