DHS I can see doing it. SSA and NOAA are a little more curious. I've visited countless fed. agencies in DC and plenty of their smaller satellite offices. A lot of them contract with private security firms to run the mags and screen visitors at their entrances. I think the Pentagon has their own private police force (they have guys on BMW K-bikes wearing MP-5's, pretty cool). But I know BATF even used a private security contractor last time I went to their HQ in DC. So I'm not sure why the feds are ordering this ammo. Seems to me the security firms should be supplying it. The amount SSA ordered sounds like a lot. But if it's really for the security guards at all of their buildings, divide it by that number of armed security and it's probably just enough for them to practice qualify with for one year.
