Global Military Products Wins Five-Year Contract For Foreign-Made Equipment

The US Special Operations Command has awarded Global Military Products a five-year, $19.5 million contract for non-standard, foreign-made military equipment, including weapons, ammunition, and personal protective gear. The company will compete against other contract holders for individual delivery orders as the command’s needs arise.

The contract was reported by The Defence Blog.
