Pistol Ammunition Testing Services

The Texas Department of Public Safety (TXDPS) is soliciting responses for the testing and evaluation of pistol ammunition. This solicitation is for testing purposes only, and any subsequent awards for ammunition will be handled through a separate opportunity. Vendors must be capable of providing ammunition samples for comprehensive testing, adhering to strict specifications regarding performance, accuracy, and reliability. The testing protocols include detailed procedures for ammunition components, pressure, propellant, failure rates, and specialized testing phases to evaluate ballistic performance, velocity, accuracy, and sustained use under various conditions.
