Substitute Ammunition Supply (Contingency)

The City of San Antonio is seeking an approved contractor to supply substitute ammunition during periods of nationwide shortages, requiring prior authorization from a designated city representative before any substitution can occur. This contingency contract is designed to ensure uninterrupted operational readiness by allowing the use of alternative ammunition that meets established standards, with all substitutions subject to formal pre-approval to maintain safety, compatibility, and compliance. The opportunity is structured as a subcontract under NAICS code 332992 and is open for responses until August 7, 2026, with proposals submitted through the Texas SmartBuy procurement portal. The contract does not specify a set-aside designation or additional organizational requirements beyond the need for pre-approval authority, and performance is expected to support city operations statewide with no defined geographic restrictions beyond the city’s jurisdictional needs. All supplied ammunition must be certified and approved in advance to ensure it meets the city’s operational and safety protocols, with the contractor responsible for maintaining consistent availability and responsiveness during periods of supply disruption.
