# Canadian DND Awards Speer Ammunition Contract

Canada’s Department of National Defence awarded Speer Ammunition a contract to supply Speer Gold Dot G2 9mm Luger 135-grain ammunition, with deliveries covering up to 4.2 million rounds over a period of up to three years. The contract value, award date, and contract number were not disclosed. For procurement teams and ammunition suppliers, the award signals a multi-year Canadian defense requirement for 9mm ammunition and a sizable potential supply volume, although the contract’s “up to” quantities and term do not establish guaranteed orders or annual delivery rates.

- **Key details:** Speer Ammunition, part of The Kinetic Group, is the awardee; the specified product is 135-grain 9mm Luger ammunition.
- Ammunition manufacturers and distributors can use the award as an indicator of Canadian defense demand when assessing production capacity and potential supply-chain opportunities.
- The undisclosed contract value and order schedule limit cost and delivery benchmarking; suppliers should avoid treating the maximum quantity as a firm purchase commitment.
