Ammunition

The Florida Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles is proceeding with a single-source contract award for law enforcement ammunition under solicitation FLHSMV-SS-001-27 AD, with a total value of $950,000. The contract is restricted to SinterFire, Speer, and Federal ammunition due to their unique ballistic performance characteristics—including reduced fragmentation, high weight retention, controlled expansion through clothing, reliable penetration through auto metal and glass, and ballistic consistency between training and duty rounds—which are deemed critical for officer safety and operational readiness. Florida Bullet, Inc. is the only authorized distributor of these specific ammunition types in the state, justifying the non-competitive procurement under Florida Administrative Code Rule 60A-1.045 and Florida Statutes Chapter 287.057(3). The place of performance is statewide, encompassing all Florida Highway Patrol troop locations and the FHP Academy, with deliveries required to multiple sites across Florida. The procurement follows the state’s standardized PUR 7778 form and relies exclusively on Florida state procurement regulations, with no federal FAR clauses applied. The submission deadline is July 31, 2026, and proposals must be submitted via mail, email, or the Florida Vendor Information Portal, adhering strictly to the PUR 7778 template with supporting documentation in PDF format. The contracting point of contact is Alma Sanchez at the Florida Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles, and the vendor’s remittance address is listed as P.O. Box 1122, Oldsmar, FL. No formal line-item breakdowns, delivery schedules, FOB terms, packaging specifications, inspection protocols, or contract administration roles such as COR or COTR are defined in the documentation, and no socioeconomic, size status, or unique entity ID certifications are provided for the vendor. The contract is structured as a firm fixed-price, single-line purchase without option provisions or formal evaluation weights, relying solely on the singular suitability of the product and distributor for the state’s operational needs.
