U.S. Postal Inspection Service Awards SIGARMS® A Contract For 3,600 SIG SAUER® Pistols
Award is the fourth major contract won by SIGARMS in just six months.
EXETER, NH - The U.S. Postal Inspection Service (USPIS) has awarded SIGARMS® a contract for just over 3,600 SIG SAUER® pistols chambered in 40 S&W. The contract which was announced February 9, is for the SIG SAUER P229R featuring an M1913 Picatinny rail, SIGLITE® night sights and the new DAKT trigger system. The contract is the fourth major federal contract won by SIGARMS in the last six months and follows on the heels of the $23.7 million pistol contract awarded by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) in August, a $4.2 million pistol contract awarded by the U.S. Coast Guard and a contract with the U.S. Army Tank-automotive and Armaments Command for 5,000 units of the new SIG SAUER SP2022 pistol.
"More and more we are seeing federal agencies turn to SIGARMS for the reliability, accuracy and durability of the SIG SAUER pistols. Testing conducted by the Department of Homeland Security showed that the SIG SAUER is the most reliable pistol available. Agencies like the USPIS, have validated this testing through their own test and evaluation process," said Peter Kujawski, SIGARMS Vice President of Military and Government Sales.
The SIG SAUER P229R selected by the USPIS is the same model selected by the U.S. Coast Guard and one of the three models selected by the DHS. The P229, available in 9mm, 357 SIG or 40 S&W, is the model that is the most popular with SIGARMS' extensive list of law enforcement customers.
To support the company's continued growth in the military and law enforcement market, SIGARMS has expanded operations at its Exeter, New Hampshire facility with the addition of several new state-of-the-art CNC machines increasing production capacity by over 25%. SIGARMS is an ISO 9001: 2000 company manufacturing in Exeter, New Hampshire.
