Ammunition and <br />accessories for the X26 Taser are also required. <br />The purchase of the X26 Taser electronic control devices, ammunition, <br />and accessories, when added to the vendor's fiscal purchases will <br />exceed the $10,000 aggregate total, and requires Council approval. <br />Participating police agencies utilize the ProForce Law Enforcement <br />Taser standard. ProForce Law Enforcement is the sole source <br />distributor for the X26 Taser electronic control devices, ammunition, <br />and accessories for California and recommends Council approval of an <br />amendment to the contract. <br />22D-1 <br />C 5 38J <br />
