Information

Subject

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

Background

Long lead times continue to be a problem in the manufacturing and delivery of ammunition. Ammunition manufacturers have been impacted by an increase in demand for their products and supply chain issues in manufacturing their products. Currently, manufacturers are estimating 12- to18-month delivery times for orders. 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 2024 draft annual budget. This order will include:

Quantity	Description	Mfg. Part number	Unit price	Total
10 cases	Speer Gold Dot G2 147 gr bonded 9mm	54226	$442.40	$4,424.00
24 cases	Speer Gold Dot .223 REM 55 gr bonded SP	24446	$293.80	$7,051.20
118 cases	Speer Lawman 147 gr FMJ 9mm	53620	$269.12	$31,756.16
50 cases	PMC .223 REM 55 gr FMJ	223A	$438.00	$21,900.00
				$65,131.36

The total for this order is $65,131.36. Gulf States Distributors is the vendor that holds the Tennessee Statewide Contract.
