The FBI recently conducted testing process and awarded a 5.56 mm ammunition contract for $97 million. Numerous other Federal LE agencies are authorized to purchase off this contract. Both of these loads are the best barrier blind 5.56 mm loads ever produced for LE use; they offer outstanding terminal performance, even after first defeating intermediate barriers like vehicle windshields. Chosen were the 5.56 mm Federal 62 gr Trophy Bonded Bear Claw (TBBC) bonded JSP load is XM556FBIT3 and the 5.56 mm Winchester 64 gr solid base bonded JSP is Q3313 on stripper clips/RA556B in 20 rd boxes. Other LE agencies might be interested in this open source, public RFP, as it provides a clear example of good testing procedures and performance requirements for LE 5.56 mm ammunition
