Hornady has been awarded a Fixed Price Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) agreement with the Federal Bureau of Investigation for its 9 mm+P Luger 135 gr. FlexLock Critical Duty ammunition. In addition to the service ammunition contract, Hornady training and frangible ammunition was also selected for use on this contract.
