Blanket Purchase Agreement FA800322A0020

The Department of the Air Force Materiel Command Installation and Mission Support Center Security Forces Center awarded a multiple-award blanket purchase agreement to Project One Retrievers LLC to support the Department of Defense working dog program. The purpose of the agreement is to provide trained working dogs for patrol, drug and explosive detection, and specialized mission functions to the Department of Defense and other government agencies. With a potential value of $11 million and a period of performance through March 2027, the agreement aims to procure canine services for domestic government entities.

The original pre-solicitation notice sought quotes for a blanket purchase agreement from vendors within the continental United States to fulfill requirements for the Department of Defense's working dog program. As live animals fall under product service group 88 in the trade agreements act, the buy American act was waived for this procurement but the trade agreements act still applied. Vendors were notified that only end products from the United States, qualifying countries, or designated countries would be acceptable in accordance with defense federal acquisition regulation supplement requirements.
