Information

Subject

Approval to purchase ammunition for the Police Department from Gulf States Distributors under statewide contract.

Background

The Police Department requests approval from the City Commission to purchase ammunition from Gulf States Distributors. This purchase includes 9mm ammunition for handguns and .223 ammunition for rifles. Part of this purchase includes ammunition used specifically for training while the remainder of the purchase is ammunition used for qualification. The qualification ammunition is the same type that is carried by officers daily. Two types of ammunition are purchased as the training ammunition is acquired at a lower price than the ammunition used for qualification and daily carry.

This ammunition is purchased on statewide contract SWC 331 (see attachments) through Gulf States Distributors. The purchase of ammunition is included in the FY 2022 Police Department operating budget. This purchase will be made after July 1, 2021, but before July 13, 2021, when the current contract will expire. A significant price increase is expected after the current contract expires.

Please contact the Chief of Police if you have questions.
