Information

Subject

Approval to purchase ammunition for the Police Department from Gulf States Distributors under Tennessee Statewide Contract #331

Background

In the last several months, international supply chain disruptions have created backlogs in many industries in the United States. Ammunition manufactures have been impacted by the increase in demand for their products and supply chain issues in manufacturing their products. As a result, long lead times have developed in the delivery of ammunition. Currently, manufacturers are unable to estimate delivery dates of orders. As of April 15, the Police Department has not received its full order of ammunition that was placed in July 2021. To ensure the Police Department can meet the State of Tennessee mandatory annual training requirements with firearms, we must have ammunition. It is important that the City recognize the long delivery times associated with items such as ammunition and order these items well in advance, even if the items are not budgeted for the current fiscal year.

Staff requests approval to pre-order all the ammunition for the Police Department being proposed in the FY 2023 draft annual budget. A delivery date for this order cannot be estimated. This order will include:

Quantity	Description	Mfg. Part number	Unit price	Total
8 cases	Speer Gold Dot G2 147 gr bonded 9mm	54226	$420.00	$3,360.00
20 cases	Speer Gold Dot .223 REM 55 gr bonded SP	24446	$295.00	$5,900.00
118 cases	Speer Lawman 147 gr FMJ 9mm	53620	$245.00	$28,910.00
80 cases	Federal American Eagle .223 REM 55 gr FMJ	AE223	$219.00	$17,520.00
				$55,690.00

The total for this order is $55,690.00
