[COLOR=#0000ff]Department of Homeland SecurityThe (DHS) and its [COLOR=#0000ff]Immigration and Customs Enforcement[/COLOR] (ICE) office is getting an "indefinite delivery" of an "indefinite quantity" of [COLOR=#0000ff].40 caliber bullets[/COLOR] from defense contractor [COLOR=#0000ff]ATK.[/COLOR][/COLOR]


[COLOR=#0000ff]press releaseU.S. agents will receive a maximum of 450 million rounds over five years, according to a on the deal. [/COLOR]
[COLOR=#0000ff]high performance HST bulletsThe are designed for law enforcement and ATK says they offer "optimum penetration for terminal performance."[/COLOR]

This refers to the the bullet's hollow-point tip that passes through barriers and expands for a bigger impact without the rest of the bullet getting warped out of shape: "this bullet holds its jacket in the toughest conditions."

[COLOR=#0000ff]open bidWe've also learned that the Department has an for a stockpile of rifle ammo. Listed on the federal business opportunities network, they're looking for up to 175 million rounds of [COLOR=#0000ff].223 caliber ammo[/COLOR] to be exact. The .223 is almost exactly the same round used by NATO forces, [COLOR=#0000ff]the 5.56 x 45mm[/COLOR].[/COLOR]

The deadline for earlier this month was extended because the right contractor just hadn't come along.
Looks like the Department of Homeland Security means business.
