13 -- Cartridges

The U.S. Secret Service plans to increase the quantity option on an existing contract with Powell River Laboratories, Inc., specifically adding eighteen cases of 300 Win Magnum Lead-Free Match Grade Cartridges under contract line item number 1001. This action pertains to Contract No. TSS010040 and is not a solicitation for new proposals. Written responses are required within one calendar day from the notice date, and the anticipated contract award date is on or about September 27, 2002. The government will not cover any costs associated with the preparation of these responses. This contract adjustment focuses exclusively on procurement of ammunition cartridges, emphasizing compliance with lead-free specifications suited for match-grade applications. The notice makes clear that this communication serves only to notify of the option quantity increase and does not invite proposals or solicitations. Details such as the solicitation number and other administrative data are provided, but there is a lack of specific information regarding place of performance, agency details, or set-aside status.
