Less Lethal Specialty Munitions (LLSM)

The Department of Homeland Security, Customs and Border Protection, through its Mission Support Contracting Division, is seeking small business offerings for Less Lethal Specialty Munitions under solicitation 70B06C26Q00000080, which is a total small business set-aside.
