I would hope it's a hoax. But it's not exactly shocking that the government is up to no good.

this post explains the confusion.... NWS is part of NOAA who is a part of the DOC.... NMFS is a part of NOAA, but not a part of NWS.

National Weather Service “ammunition” solicitation triggers confusion - Capital Weather Gang - The Washington Post

The locations mentioned are NMFS offices.
The thread has decent entertainment value, including one poster who said 46,000 bullets wasn't very much, and another who questioned why there is a National Weather Service.
