The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) recently awarded Federal and Remington Ammunition—both part of The Kinetic Group (TKG)—one of the largest law enforcement contracts in TKG's history. The contract is valued at $77.4 million.

Remington, along with additional technology from Hevi, paired to provide the fourth product category in Jacketed Frangible ammunition. Delivery is expected to begin in 2026.

"This is a tremendous honor for our company. All our brands are humbled and excited to build and deliver ammunition to the FBI. It is one of the most prestigious contracts ever awarded in our long-established company history," said CEO Jason Vanderbrink. "To receive an award in all four of the requested categories is an accomplishment we are extremely proud of. This is a great source of pride for our highly skilled American workforce dedicated to engineering and building the most advanced ammunition in the world."
