Training and Duty Ammunition

The Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC) has announced its intention to award a single source contract to Florida Bullet, Inc. for the procurement of training and duty ammunition, specifically CCI-Speer and Federal Cartridge Products, with a total value of approximately $530,000. This procurement is intended to support law enforcement activities across Florida, including firearms training and recertification efforts. Florida Bullet, Inc. is designated as the sole authorized distributor within the state, holding exclusive factory authorization for direct drop shipments of these products, which justifies the single source approach. The notice emphasizes that this is not a solicitation for bids or proposals, and interested parties are advised of the protest process, which must be initiated within 72 hours of the notice. Additionally, a separate notice from the Executive Office of the Governor indicates a similar intent to establish a single source contract for LiveU streaming equipment and services, valued at $43,644. This procurement is justified by the unique capabilities of LiveU's LU800 equipment, which supports multiple modems for live broadcasting of press conferences, with no comparable alternatives available from other vendors. Both notices underscore the agency’s commitment to ensuring reliable, specialized equipment and supplies for critical operations, and provide contact details for further inquiries or protests, consistent with Florida statutes governing procurement procedures.
