Homeland Security Soliciting Bids for Thousands of Rounds of Ammunition But Former SEAL Explains Why It’s Completely Normal

Editor’s note: The 26.1 million rounds of ammo as originally reported was a miscalculation. We’ve updated this story to reflect the correct numbers and to explain the miscalculation. 

On a semi-private website is a solicitation by the Department of Homeland Security for a total of 240,000 rounds of ammunition, which it is seeking to purchase from a small business. Although this might seem like a lot, sources tell us it is not out of the ordinary.

Going through the website FedBid, DHS’ Federal Law Enforcement Training Center in Arteia, New Mexico, is putting out a call for the training ammunition through competitive bids, which have to be at least $10, according to the post. Here’s a breakdown of what it wants:

The FLETC in New Mexico includes programs for Border Patrol, TSA and Indian Affairs. Specialized programs like Firearms Instructor Training Program and Defensive Tactics Instructor Training Program are also conducted at the Artesia facility.

Mike Piccione for The Daily Caller pointed out that the 26.1 million rounds that was being reported was a miscalculation due to misinterpreting that the delivery was to be priced per 1,000 rounds. Here are Piccione’s calculations:

1. .40 cal. 100 quantities of a 1,000 round unit = 100,000 rounds

2. 9mm 115 grain, 100 quantities of a 1,000 round unit = 100,000 rounds

3. 9mm 124 grain ball, 40 quantities of a 1,000 round unit = 40,000 rounds

Total = 240,000 rounds

The website FedBid is an online marketplace where federal, state and local governments, as well as businesses, can buy items or services. According to a profile about FedBiz owner Ali Saadat in the Washington Business Journal, the website conducted $1.4 billion worth of federal transactions in 2012.

Saadat said the concept for FedBid is changing how people in the industry would traditionally seek out and respond to business, which often includes sending requests for proposals or requests for quotes.

“That time is gone. It all happens on the Internet and in a transparent way,” Saadat told the Washington Business Journal.

Going through FedBid’s home page, to try and search for requests for goods or services, it appears that one has to sign up to become a member as a buyer or seller in order to view the marketplace pages.

As for the ammunition being solicited by DHS with bids ending Feb. 11, here are a few examples to put the amount into perspective:

At the time of ATK’s contract award for 450 million rounds last spring, TheBlaze’s Tiffany Gabbay wrote that while this might seem like a lot of ammo, it wasn’t unusual. Gabbay wrote gun experts saying that it was part of a practice by such agencies to spend any budget surplus on useful items before the end of the fiscal year. That could be what is going on with this latest request for ammo but we don’t know for sure.

Former Navy SEAL Brandon Webb, who runs the website SOFREP (the Special Operations Forces Report) told us in an email that everything on the list looks “perfectly normal” to him.

“It’s a training center for DHS so there going to need a lot, I mean a LOT, of ammo,” Webb wrote in an email. “Figure one day a guy will shoot through 500-1000 rounds a piece and it starts to add up.”

      We’re 16.5 trillion in debt any agency with a surplus at the end of the year needs to not spend that surplus but return it to take off it off the debt.
      THIS IS WHAT EVERY AGENCY AND GOVERNMENT ACROSS THE COUNTY DOES INSTEAD OF NOT SPENDING THEIR SURPLUS THEY BURN IT UP TO KEEP THE SAME BUDGET FOR NEXT YEAR

      22 ammo shortage now. Well I know that many people and myself as well are shooting 22′s. I am doing that as well to preserve my 9mm and 5.56 stockpile. I am glad I purchased 3500 rds of 22 before this apparent shortage. I’ll have to check my area for 22′s as well. Still no 9mm or 5.56 available anywhere.

      The attempt by gov, MSM, and now even Blaze to deflate the very obvious ammo grab for the upcoming civil unrest is laughable. Come on, guys, we can all see through this. You’re doing this all in plain sight, laughing while most people don’t even look at you. We’re looking at you. We are staring right at you. We’re a step ahead of you. It’s almost funny watching the ambushed think they’re the ones doing the ambushing.

      Well if a Navy seal says its normal, I guess its normal. We are not supposed to question anything from the Blaze or Glenn anymore.

      Don’t ask what type of ammo they have been ordering, or if its considered training ammo.

      Nope its all good, a seal member said its normal, i’m sure that he had extensive experience in ordering and purchasing ammo for DHS while serving as a seal team member. In fact I bet he spent many hours going over what ammo types they need for training and quantities used per location.

      Seriously I respect our armed service members as much as anyone else, but putting SEAL in front of an article doesn’t mean he has a clue about government operations on purchase orders and reasons behind those orders. This is a silly article.

      In fact I am guessing it was only written this way because infowars already covered the story earlier today and just had information in it.

      This is really sad TheBlaze. YOUR reporting on this story contradicts itself. So you report on a story about government ammo purchases and say that its not a story, am I getting this correct?

      Oh wait I see this was just a sad attempt at trying to discredit infowars. I see, I see, what you are really saying is, “look this story isn’t a story and infowars was stupid for reporting on it because we had a SEAL tell us this is a normal PO.”

      Hollow point ammunition is too expensive for target practice and can’t be used outside the US because of the geneva convention. Therefore, the only logical explanation is that it will be used on people within the US.

      If you use a number of 1000 rounds a day for 45 people each day for 365 days it will take over 27 years just to shoot up the 450 million rounds. They have over a billion on order.
      How about the 7,000 full auto “personal defense weapons” ordered by DHS ?

      The atrocities in Russia were perpetrated by both Jews and non-Jews against both Jews and non-Jews. That’s factual history. So don’t try and tell me that the Jews bear responsibility or that only non-Jewish Russians suffered. People like you accuse Jews of omitting non-Jewish Holocaust victims without any proof and then here you are ignoring hundreds of thousands of victims at least.

      300? Out of how many Jews? 50,000? 100,000? 1 million? How representative! You have shown that less than 1% of Russia’s Jews were complicit. Oh sure they were slightly overrepresented among both factions but after centuries of persecution under the Czars of Russia is it really all that surprising that a small minority joined the revolution? After all, why do you think it happened in Russia and not in Germany, which is where Marx was from? Could it be because Germans were more content with their then current system, which had even gone as far as to make Jews citizens of equal status?

      And somehow these 300 hundred controlled a country of millions without the help or support of a single non-Jew? And you say I’m playing stupid? No wonder you’re afraid of Jews: you’ve given them way too much credit. Jews can’t even control themselves let alone millions of others. There hasn’t been any kind of central, universally recognized Jewish leadership for well over 2000 years and there likely won’t be in either of our lifetimes.

      By the way, Marx was dead long before the Russian revolution, neither Kerry nor either of his wives are Jewish, and as for Paul Pelosi, no Jew names their child Paul (a clearly Christian name). And in regards to Reid’s wife, she converted to Mormonism so of course she’s such a PERFECT example of what Jews are like. Might want to actually check your facts for once.

      http://www.thetruthaboutguns.com/2012/12/jack-baruth/stockholm-syndrome-newtown-and-the-liberator-pistol/
      “The FP-45 “Liberator” was a throwaway, sheet-steel affair, manufactured in bulk by General Motors in the days when they were the Arsenal of Democracy rather than the Recipient Of Government Assistance. The US Army planned to drop approximately a million of the single-shot, .45 ACP-chambered pistols into Occupied Europe. The stated purpose of the weapon was to enable Resistance fighters to kill soldiers and acquire a rifle or SMG, but the real purpose was to spread a little terror through the German ranks. The FP-45′s concealable nature meant that anybody could be carrying one at any time, so in theory the existence of the Liberators would have vastly increased the stress the occupying troops faced.”

      To all of the above that have been discussing the Jews.
      It is amazing, but not surprising, as to how much of the world is preoccupied with those who are descendants of Jews. Not surprising because this is a manifestation of Biblical prophecy.

      More importantly though, even if you are right about all that is wrong with the world, it won’t save you.
      Jesus, the same yesterday, today , and forever, emphatically said, “you must be born again”.
      It takes His Holy Spirit to give life to the spiritually dead. God is the Father of spirits made alive in Christ Jesus, the sons and daughters of God. As many who believe in their heart that God raised Jesus from the dead and confess with their mouth that Jesus is Lord and Saviour, are made alive in Christ Jesus.

      All those who hunger and thirst for Gods righteousness, Jew and Gentile alike, will have the opportunity to hear His Word and accept it, or ignore/reject it. This is the free moral agency to choose.
      All those who are old enough to be aware of sin will have to choose this Life to escape death.

      His Holy Spirit bears witness of Jesus. Arguing with the world to get a consensus from the world won’t help. Without the Light the world is in darkness.

      Jesus the Christ, said that salvation is of the Jews. Jesus as a Jew without sin, fulfilled the law so that the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus delivers from the law of sin and death for all those who hear and believe.

      The flesh does not save anyone. But His Holy Spirit, by faith, will quicken or make alive the flesh.

      Without His Holy Spirit, the Comforter, to reveal His Word to those who seek Him, no one will overcome the defeated and temporary god of this world, Satan, the father of lies.

      Tech white christians are the troops killing people in other countries and law enforecement that tasers and beats you down to arrest you, your folks make it all happen.

      First of all they are christian in name only. Most under 25 don’t really know what they believe but I’ll give you the point.. All I can say is that they’ve been indoctrinated.

      My number one problem or concern for America is the Media.. IMO the Media is the most powerful tool on the planet. I like to say they have the power to turn a man into an ape and if used properly an ape into a man..

      But if one is to speak of race or ethnicity then we’d have to take responsiblity for being duped.. I for one acknowledge that I was deceived for many years and I believed an awful lot of other well meaning people are currently under their spell.

      tzion: You’re just wrong on every account… Of course a few can control the masses.. That’s almost always how it actually works anyway.

      John Kerry has openly admitted that he was Jewish and so to is his wife.. I’ve even heard that discussed on FOX news.

      And can’t be Jewish because of a name? So Larry Summers is no longer Jewish because he changed his name from Sammuelson to Summers?

      You make no sense tzion.. I think you intentilly lie or you’re just one ignorant J.

      furthermore you insinuate that reed’s wife converting religions changes her ethnicity?

      Kerry was born to a Catholic father and Episcopalian mother and was raised catholic. How do you have him as Jewish? What is your definition of a Jew for that matter? Can you name any one thing that 90% of Jews agree on? The only thing I can think of for which there is a consensus among Jews is that Jesus wasn’t divine or the messiah. On what basis can you argue that what’s true for one Jew is true for all? Would you say that what’s true of yourself is true of all whites.

      Reading the procurement request shows that the request is for .40 cal and 9mm rounds. 240,000 of them too – not 26.1 million! Try the top link in this story and read the procurement request. They are asking for 100K of .40 cal with a price per 1000 rounds. Same for the other calibers. A total of 240,000 rounds of ammo. A lot of story over nothing. If it smells like bu l l s h it then it probably is bs.

    “That could be what is going on with this latest request for ammo but we don’t know for sure.”

    Dig DIG. DIG!! You’re reporters, and THIS is BIG NEWS!

    Just what IS their purpose? Why is DHS ordering ammunition in amounts previously known only to the Military?!?

    30 – 75MM ammunition is heavy firepower – light to medium artillery. What does DHS need with THAT?

      They are gearing up to come for us when the UN tries to get our guns and we say know with what comes out of the end. Then they will turn DHS loose on us and the next revolution will begin. Personally I am tired of all the posturing, its time to get down to business.

      You don’t hear much about it but FEMA/DHS is turning out classes of “young skulls full of mush” at their training center in Anniston, AL. These 18 to 20 somethings are being trained in emergency response. I read some of the blog post from the grad’s last year and after graduating they weren’t sure exactly what they were preparing for but they were issued a secure government laptop, ie a way to receive orders. This looks a lot like Obama’s “civilian corps” he spoke about back in 2008. There may come a time when they will need to “just as well trained and funded (read weapons and ammo) as the military.”
      Here’s a story about the second graduating class from the program dated 10/12/12, in the Anniston Star.

      How does a government agency spend excess budget money on a five-year contract? An agency doesn’t know it has excess money in the budget until the end of the fiscal year which is in late September or early October.

      Homeland Security is not the military or a police force. Any Border Control agent that shoots someone makes the news and is usually fired. This is a lot of ammunition to use training people who rarely discharge their weapons in the course of their job.

      RJ, you got it. They want us to have nothing to defend ourselves with at all. They know we will fight for our 2nd amendment rights, so they figure if they dry up the supply we will have no bullets to shoot. I have 9 guns, and at least 1000 rounds for each different caliber.

      In addition to trying to dry up the supply, they are also trying to make ammo manufacturers place a pellet in the cartridge that after 3 months will liquefy the gun powder rendering the ammo useless. They want to do this to keep people from building a supply of ammo. Again, this is all to keep us from being able to protect ourselves from thugs and tyrants.

      I got a question

      I just purchased a 30 0 6 bolt action hunting rifle … went shooting with an experienced hunter to scope the rifle in … shot 14 rounds. Out of my last four shots 2 were bulls eyes, all of the shots would have been kills (about a 11/2 in circle) and the other 2 were within 3/4 inches. First time I shot a gun in a bunch. Why would I need to shoot 500 to 1000 rounds for practice, and why would I use hollow points, aren’t they expensive. Next up … some self defence weapons. Saw a 44 revolver that shot 3in. long rounds and also a shotgun shell (looking for something to stop a bear) anyone know this handgun? Don’t remember the name, saw it at Cabales-cost $600.00

      That’s precisely correct Mike. And they’re doing it openly and without even pretending to not smile as they do it. They will continue to do this until we put a stop to it, but we can’t put a stop to it if we’re always fighting on the defensive. We need to stop playing defense and start formulating and engaging in an offense. The battle goes to those with the initiative more often than not.

      Yeah, we have rallies tomorrow at our state capitol as well (Columbus, Ohio). Me and a buddy are heading up there around 10 am. It’s an open carry event, locked, loaded and smiling. So many contacts are made at these gatherings, I really am amazed that the leftists are still so smug and ignorant of what’s going on out here. I’ve networked with hundreds of people and gotten contact information from nearly that many as well just in the last two months. Not one voice saying that we’re going to follow any new law or restriction, and all saying there is no debating this at all. Love it.

Keep in mind the US Coast Guard is under DHS, they carry the Sig P229 DAK which is chambered in .40 Cal., and they utilize both JHP and Ball ammunition depending upon mission. InConus LE mission utilize JHP, OConus DOD mission utilize Ball. Additionally, FAMS, FPS, Customs, ICE etc, etc are all DHS entities that utilize both ball and JHP for training and every day carry.

    I’m sure others have mentioned this but is anyone else wondering if these ammo buys are a ploy to over-whelm the system? Has anyone else tried to buy ammo lately? If you can find ammo for sale it is double or triple what it was just a couple of months ago and VERY difficult to find.

    I’ve seen 5.56 NATO selling for a dollar a round. Wonder why? No primers for hand loading as they are going into fixed ammunition and beginning to see supplies of canister powder running short.

    The military is winding down operations in Afghanistan so they should be ordering less not more. Homeland Security upping their stockpiles is worrisome. Between the increased demand in the civilian sector for ammo and components due to Obama’s push for gun control this looks suspiciously like government agencies under the direct control of Obama are attempting to further manipulate the market.

    Even though I saw this coming three years back and began buying extra my range time ha been cut back by 70% because I don’t want to deplete my stock.

      Jacketed Hollow Point ammo is not banned in the Geneva Convention. It was however banned in the Hague Convention of 1899. NATO troops still honor that treaty. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hollow-point_bullet

      Wrong. You can use it. When you do your opponent can as well.

    So they want your guns and ammo but they want to have full auto rifles and ammo. Something wrong with that picture.

    Who is the Evian Group? A front group formed 5 days before the contract was given, for 21.6 million more rounds? Come on, WAKE up people. 21.6 plus their already 1.6 billion rounds is enough to wage a full scale war for 3o years compared to our military.We are in deep,deep, trouble.

    “Maj. Gen. Buford C. Blount III said in 2004 testimony to the Tactical Air and Land Forces Subcommittee of the Committee on Arms Services that soldiers used 72 million rounds in Iraq in 2003 and that their expenditure at the time was 5.5 million rounds per month.”

    How many Iraqis did they shoot with that? Iraq only have about 32 million people. In one year they could have shot every man, woman, and child in that country twice, some of them three times. (I know, training counts in that as well, but still,..) maybe Iraq can hire people to police all that up and start their own munitions factories.

      Have you watched the You Tube videos from this conflict? The troops are just laying it all out down range. I watched them go through magazine after magazine, belt after belt, and there was only a handful or two of targets. The video doesn’t even tell you if they ‘got’ the insurgents or not, but it was a hellacious amount of firepower being sent downrange.

      Yeah, I could see that much ammo being used in a month. I’m not knocking our troops at all for the tactics they are using, I’d probably be doing the exact same, but we are a long way from the old “accuracy” vs. “rounds fired” arguments of the WWII and earlier eras.

      The areas these fights take place in could probably be mined for their copper content after the engagements happen… LOL!

      I could care less if our brave troops are using it over there. Whatever they need, send it on over to them. I’m just concerned that DHS has a need for this type of thing. Especially the larger than 30 caliber stuff. WTH is that for? 9, 40, 45, 223, 556, 762, 308, 300 Win, maybe some 338, but bigger than that? Smells funny.

      In WWII we fired 10,000 rds. for each enemy killed, by VN it was up to 100,000. I can only guess what rd. count is now.

      About 250K rounds for each insurgent killed…I think that was the final tally.

      Carhouse — they have no intention of shooting illegals or drug mules. Get real – those are all part of their plan to dismantle everything our ancestors put together. Drugs and that violence pits American against American. They fuel the Mexican cartels which causes spillover on this side. Phoenix is the kidnap capital of the US. Illegals put Americans out of small jobs and put them on the gov’t dole. That makes Americans controlled by the gov’t.

      FUBARED, With 0bama’s version of the Hitler Jugend he does not need the military to turn guns on our citizens. This is scary.
      CARHOUSE, Just did a quick search and so far no drones are armed with either 30mm or 75mm guns. But it does make one wonder why those are listed on that form above. The Bushmaster 30mm chain gun is mounted on the Apache though. As for the 75mm I have no idea although there are a number of the old M116 Pack 75mm Howitzers are still around in the military that are fired at the raising and lowering of the flags on some posts. I cannot think of any modern weapons that fire the 75mm round.

      Can’t be for D&C with this crowd. Is odd, maybe the cartels have lil howitzers. Someone with more recent duty will hopefully chime in. We are now relegated to geezer status…

    Well, of course – disarming America is going to be difficult (and bloody) – obama’s stormtroopers are going to need a lot of ammunition.

      The military contracts are what keeps our US companies alive. There are only a couple companies building bulk ammo domestically any way. And ATK, Winchester and Remington only have the ability to fill these giant contracts.
