 www.GovExec.com - TSA revisits German gun contract (7/30/03)
The Transportation Security Administration is reconsidering its recent decision to arm U.S. commercial airline pilots with German-made Heckler and Koch handguns, only a few days after House Small Business Chairman Donald Manzullo, R-Ill., inquired about the agency's method of choosing a supplier, according to congressional and gun industry sources.
The companies that competed for a three-year, $5 million contract to supply TSA with as many as 9,600.40-caliber semiautomatic pistols have been told that their bids will be re-evaluated, but the reasons were left unclear, industry sources said.
With a contract from TSA - situated in the same division as the immigration and customs agency - Heckler and Koch would be well positioned to win the other contract, which committee aides say could be worth $30 million.
