I would guess .223, no?

A few years back there was a report like this and it was all 9mm I believe for their service guys to practice.

The U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS), Immigration Customs Enforcement (ICE), recently awarded Speer a major ammunition contract. Starting delivery in 2018, the contract provides for up to 120 million rounds of 124-grain, 9mm Luger Gold Dot Duty ammunition to multiple DHS law enforcement components and other Federal agencies for up to five years.

9mm is pretty reasonable to purchase the way it is, I wonder how much the rounds cost when you buy 120 million at a time?

Assuming the usual government procurement practices each round is probably $1.95.
