Topic: Remington 870

The U.S. Department of Education has issued a federal tender for the purchase of 27 Remington Model 870 tactical shotguns equipped with modified sights and Wilson Combat components. The procurement of combat-grade weaponry by a civilian education agency is questioned, as the specific law enforcement purpose for these firearms remains unclear in the public filing.

The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) issued a solicitation on FedBizOpps to purchase Remington Model 870 Police 12-gauge pump-action shotguns. These weapons are intended for the Criminal Investigation Division. The move is questioned as an escalation of force for a tax collection agency that already possesses wage garnishment powers.
