NOAA Requests Ammunition For The Weather ServiceJames Smith, Contributor The solicitation breaks down the requirements: In all, 40,000 rounds of ammunition, and only 500 Transtar II blue 24 x 40 targets are being ordered. All the ammunition and targets are being spread out over the US to three locations, Ellsworth, ME; New Bedford, MA; Wall, NJ; and St. Petersburg, FL. Only the 24,000 rounds are being sent to Florida, no targets will be shipped there. This all comes after the Department of Homeland Security requested a contract with manufactures for over 63,000,000 rounds rounds over the next 4 years.
