12 Gauge Ammunition

This notice of intent is being published in accordance with the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) 5.101 requiring the Contracting Officer to disseminate information for proposed contract actions expected to exceed $25,000. Further in accordance with FAR 6.302-1 "Only One Responsible Source and No Other Supplies or Services Will Satisfy Agency Requirements," it is the intent of the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) to established an order with Federal Cartridge Company for 12 Gauge 00 Buck RR (Part Number: XLE13200) ammunition. Such action is necessary at this time due to a substantial risk in depleting the department's current supplies of this type of ammunition. This action is temporary until such time an IDIQ contract(s) can be established for this ammunition. As a result of this current situation and the authorization provided to Immigration and Customs Enforcement under FAR 6.302-1 it is determined necessary to issue an order for approximately $525,043.20 to Federal Cartridge Corporation for 12 Gauge ammunition.
