Title
Consider and take action on a resolution authorizing the purchase of ammunition for the Police Department from Precision Delta Corporation, through a Texas Buy Board Contract, in an amount not to exceed $63,811.60 (Chief of Police)
Background:
Approval of this item authorizes the annual ammunition purchase through the State of Texas contract with Precision Delta Corporation via Texas Buy Board Contract 698.23 (expiring March 31, 2024). This ammunition purchase is for qualifications, training and duty use for the entire fiscal year and is included in the FY2024 Budget approved by Council in September. The ammunition is purchased in bulk to maximize quantity discounts.
Precision Delta is Winchester’s chosen governmental distributor for the State of Texas for their ammunition and has been our supplier for over a decade. All purchases have been made off of negotiated state contract pricing. Our agency issues specific Winchester bonded duty ammunition, as well specific training rounds to maintain consistency in performance and year to year inventory. Precision Delta’s contractual pricing allows us to place large singular purchases that maximize all quantity discounts available in the contract pricing. The quantities in which the Department orders ammunition is difficult for smaller vendors to fulfill, and with the ammunition shortages the country has been experiencing for the last several years, we distinctly benefit from leveraging the buying power of such a large vendor. Even with purchasing from such a large vendor, our ammunition is taking 10+ months, in many cases, to reach our shelves.
