Speer Receives Duty Rifle Ammunition Federal Agency Contract
Speer has been awarded a duty rifle ammunition contract with U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP). The contract has a ceiling value of $7 million over five years and calls for Speer to supply Gold Dot Tipped .308 ammunition. CBP is one of the world’s largest law enforcement agencies and is charged with border security and overseeing the lawful execution of international trade and travel.
“We are proud to provide the highest quality duty ammunition to CBP officers and agents charged with the monumental task of safeguarding the American homeland… We know they require the best ammunition in their mission to protect our borders and keep the homeland safe. This large contract solidifies Speer as a top choice for law enforcement,” says David Leis, Vice President of Government Sales.
Speer Gold Dot Tipped Duty Ammunition provides a time-tested and proven bullet technology, as Gold Dot was the first high-performance, bonded-core bullet available for handgun ammunition and has since become a top choice for many shooters, whether on duty or for personal protection. Speer rifle ammunition is now available for agencies with loads specifically designed to provide what the company promises will be next-level performance and consistency to the law enforcement community.
“Regarding dependability and terminal ballistics, Speer is the gold standard… The versatility, reliability, and superior construction of the new Speer LE Gold Dot Tipped Duty Rifle loads allow law enforcement agencies to utilize this tested and proven bullet technology in duty rifles confidently,” said Leis.
This isn’t the first Speer government contract we’ve covered here at TFB, with SOCOM adopting Gold Dot G2 in 2024 and Miami Dade Police and NYPD signing on in 2023.
