NAICS: 332992 REDUCED HAZARD TRAINING AMMUNITION (RHTA)
NOTE: AMMUNITION IS FOR TRAINING PURPOSES ONLY
The purpose of this sources sought notice is to determine how the
Government requirements can be met. The Department of Homeland Security
(DHS), Federal Law Enforcement Training Centers (FLETC), Glynco, Georgia is
anticipating a purchase of Reduced Hazard Training Ammunition (RHTA) for

This applies to frangible and non-frangible projectiles and must meet the
requirements stated below.
THIS IS A MARKET SURVEY REQUESTING INFORMATION IN SUPPORT OF THE FOLLOWING
PERFORMANCE REQUIREMENT. No contract will be awarded from this announcement.
This is not a Request for Proposal (RFP) or an Invitation for Bid (IFB), nor

1.1 Environmental Health and Safety
RHTA shall utilize components that minimize the hazards to personnel and
the environment. The ammunition and all of the component parts shall be free
of lead styphnate and other toxic materials listed on the 2010 CERCLA
Priority List of Hazardous Substances. In addition, any and all ammunition
components shall not cause the Action Levels (AL) or the Permissible Exposure
Limits (PEL) as established by the Occupational Safety and Health
Administration (OSHA 29 CFR 1910.1000) to be exceeded in a training
environment. Either of these conditions shall be cause for disqualification
and/or rejection at the discretion of the FLETC. All RHTA and component parts
shall be designed to minimize the generation of hazardous waste. All RHTA
proposed for delivery must have the Material Safety Data Sheet(s) for all
components pre-approved by the FLETC prior to shipment and delivery. Reloaded
ammunition is unacceptable. Ammunition offered must perform in all brands of
law enforcement weapons without requiring alterations or damaging such
weapons.
1.2 Frangibility
If the contract line item requires a frangible projectile, the round shall
be designed for use with steel or other targets at a close distance where
ricochet creates an unacceptable hazard. Offerors must provide frangible test
data. The submission must be actual data, not projected results. Frangible
projectiles must break up upon target impact, as follows:
1.2.1 Handgun - when fired against a vertical 3/8"x24"x24"
armor steel plate (AR400 Brinnel or harder) at a 45 degree angle of impact,
from a distance of 10 feet, shall fragment after a single impact, with the
largest resulting fragment not exceeding 5 grains in weight and no 5 grain
particle shall penetrate a 200 weight cardboard witness panel located 10 feet
from initial impact. Only handgun ammunition producing fragments no larger
than 5 grains will be considered as qualified for delivery to the DHS/FLETC.
1.2.2 Rifle/Shotgun - shot ammunition when fired against a vertical
3/8"x24"x24" armor steel plate (AR 400 Brinnel or harder) at a
45 degree angle of impact, from a distance of 21 feet, shall fragment after a
single impact, with the largest resulting fragment not exceeding 5 grains in
weight and no 5 grain particle (or larger) shall penetrate a 200 weight
cardboard witness panel located 21 feet from initial impact. Only rifle/shotgun
ammunition producing fragments no larger than 5 grains will be considered as
qualified for delivery to the DHS/FLETC.
1.2.3 If a contract line item does not specifically state ‘frangible', it
shall be deemed as not requiring these frangibility mandates.
1.3 Accuracy
RHTA handgun and rifle projectiles should yield accuracy characteristics
not to exceed 6" in diameter, and the mean center of the group shall not
exceed an average of 3" from the mean center of the group fired with
conventional (duty-type) ammunition. Handgun ammunition will be fired from a
machine rest at 25 yards. Rifle ammunition will be manually fired from a
sandbag rest at 50 yards.
2.0 Functioning and Ammunition Defects
2.1 DHS/FLETC provides training for more than 80 agencies; numerous
manufacturers' weapons are used during firearms training (some are
FLETC-owned and some other-agency owned). Any RHTA delivered under this
contract must function in a satisfactory manner in any law enforcement
weapon, regardless of the weapon manufacturer.
2.2 Functioning is defined as feeding, chambering, locking, firing,
unlocking, extracting, ejecting and cocking. No more than one
ammunition-related failure per 1,000 round sample of RHTA will be considered
acceptable for the duration of the contract. Ammunition-related failures
shall not include failures that are shooter induced, caused by an improperly
maintained weapon, or caused by a weapon defect.
2.3 Ammunition-specific defects include, but are not limited to: deformed
case, inverted primer or bullet, inert or defective primer, squib load,
inconsistent bullet seating depth, inconsistent powder charge, excessive
residue build up in the weapon, excessive primer or bullet sealant, case not
within recommended specifications of the SAAMI, blown primer (excluding those
caused by something other than ammunition). Ammunition shall not result in
visible damage to FLETC-owned or Agency-owned firearms through normal law
enforcement training. Contractor shall be responsible for all costs associated
with the replacement of damaged firearms and/or parts.
2.4 Bullet Integrity
RHTA projectiles must remain intact until impact with hard barriers.
Projectiles shall not fragment in the bore, while in flight, or when striking
paper targets with cardboard backs. The projectile (except shotshells using
birdshot or buckshot) must stabilize in flight at all distances out to: 25
yards for handguns, 50 yards for shotgun slug rounds , and 100 yards for
rifle rounds, so that a single round hole is created in the target medium,
specifically paper targets and cardboard backing.
2.5 Lot Formation/Primer Lots
Primer sensitivity data must be on file for each lot of primers produced.
Alternate lot testing or any discontinuous testing of primer lots is not
allowed. MSDS for the specific primer mix for match must be provided. Each
lot shall be assigned a lot number in accordance with an established lot
numbering system; only one type and weight of propellant shall be used in a
lot. Each cartridge lot shall contain no more than two lots of primers and
one lot of propellant. A primer lot shall consist of a specific product, made
on consecutive work shifts, with no break in the production of that specific
product.
2.6 Shelf Life
RHTA shall have a manufacturer's warranted shelf life of a minimum of two
years from the date of shipment when stored dry in the manufacturer's
packaging. Exterior of cases shall indicate a "USE BY (month &
year)" date that will be 3 months prior to the expiration of the shelf
life.

Question -- What is the goal of this website? Why do we share different sources of information that sometimes conflicts or might even be considered disinformation?
Answer -- The primary goal of Nesaranews is to help all people become better truth-seekers in a real-time boots-on-the-ground fashion. This is for the purpose of learning to think critically, discovering the truth from within—not just believing things blindly because it came from an "authority" or credible source. Instead of telling you what the truth is, we share information from many sources so that you can discern it for yourself. We focus on teaching you the tools to become your own authority on the truth, gaining self-mastery, sovereignty, and freedom in the process. We want each of you to become your own leaders and masters of personal discernment, and as such, all information should be vetted, analyzed and discerned at a personal level. We also encourage you to discuss your thoughts in the comments section of this site to engage in a group discernment process.
