[QUOTE="Shadowrider, post: 2150511, member: 3099"] I haven't looked at the link, but I have seen a few .mil contracts in my past career at various companies. I can't recall one ever not having an increased priority clause in it. As a matter of fact ours all stated that in times of national emergency they could capture every bit of our manufacturing capacity or as much as they deemed necessary. I'm sure it varies depending on the product's nature, procurement codes or something but we were making machined aircraft parts mostly. We did do some M2 bolt assemblies from time to time over the years too at one of them and several variants of the Vulcan chain gun receivers at another. I would assume that ammunition procurement would be similar. Edit: Now that I think about it, all my experience was originated from DOD. It wouldn't surprise me if DHS is totally different. [/QUOTE]
