Presumably the above mags are Colt-approved third party mags? I didn't think Colt manufactured their own.

The U.S. Department of State Office of Acquisition Management
Who is that? what do they do?
I that the Colt mags were made by NHMTG in Hartsford, CT. Hmmm...
I use to be a security guard for DOS in 1993 after I got out of the Corps. I worked out in the State Department warehouses in Newington, VA. When you think about all of the 140 or so embassies and consulates we have around the world. That is a lot of security cameras, office supplies, vehicles, and weapons they buy. State also supplies the weapons for Marines on Embassy Duty. It use to be S&W model 19's, 870's and a few UZI's and mini 14's. The Marines were prohibited from using military weapons. I'm sure the 1500 or so DS agents use M4's now. David
I received my DoS Armorer certification from the facility in Springfield, VA. They have a shit load of weapons in that place. They also do all the vehicle up-armoring as well.
Not my experience, M16s, M249s and M9s were common embassies I was attached to in the 80s/90s. Did see some 870s and Smith revolvers though. never an Uzi or Mini-14. Not saying it did not happen.
Getting back on subject, this procurement might also be for all of the sub-contractors also, not just DOS employees or Marines.
