The error is being fixed and will soon appear correctly in the electronic federal bidding system. The ammunition is standard issue for many law enforcement agencies and it will be used by 63 NOAA enforcement agents in their twice annual target qualifications and training. <\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>So that&#8217;s about 365 rounds per agent per training and qualification session. That&#8217;s still a lot of shooting. I guess the National Weather Service would rather take out weather criminals with science than waste ammunition.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.washingtonpost.com\/politics\/noaa-pulls-ad-for-magician-to-motivate-employees-at-leadership-event\/2012\/05\/03\/gIQAytcE0T_story.html\">The Post<\/a> also reports that NOAA had to withdraw a $5000 request for a magician to entertain at their leadership conference last Spring.
