Looking at the Customs and Border Protection case, did the CBP change standard-issued handguns during the period? The P2000, which they bought a bunch of, was introduced in 2001, and changing the standard issue is going to involve buying a lot of new guns.

Likewise, did ICE switch from some other caliber to .40S&W?

I seem to remember an article some time ago about the feds standardizing handgun calibers to .40 to try to lower the unit cost of ammunition.
