Lewiston’s Vista Outdoor has secured a five-year, 18 million dollar contract to provide ammunition for the New York City Police Department.
Company officials say the Speer Gold Dot duty and training rounds have a 20-year history supporting more than 35,000 NYPD officers.
It’s the third significant contract by Vista for Speer ammunition for law enforcement announced in less than one year. The French National Police awarded Speer a long-term contract for an unspecified volume and length of time, while the U.S. Department of Homeland Security agreed with Vista on a contract for up to 120 million rounds for as many as five years for a number of federal agencies.
