A Word from Federal on their New Canadian Government Contract
“Anoka, Minnesota - August, 2026 - Federal Ammunition was recently awarded contracts to supply two Canadian law enforcement organizations with rifle and shotgun ammunition for duty and training purposes. These agreements will supply the Department of National Defense (DND) with 300 Blackout duty and training rounds, and the Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) with 12-gauge slugs and buckshot duty loads.
“We are pleased to provide these organizations with our product lines,” said Randall Watkins, Sales Director, Law Enforcement and Government at Federal. “We look forward to growing our trusted ammunition product lines within Canada’s DND for use both domestically and abroad.”
“We previously serviced a 12-gauge duty contract with the RCMP,” Watkins said, “and we are proud to continue supplying them with our dependable products.””
Final Thoughts
Federal is constantly securing ammunition contracts with governments, militaries, and law enforcement agencies around the globe because of the quality of their ammo. This shouldn’t fall absent on any of us that such a high-caliber (no pun intended) manufacturer calls the US home.
