This Blanket Purchase Agreement was awarded by the Department of the Air Force Materiel Command Installation and Mission Support Center Security Forces Center to support the Department of Defense working dog program. The potential value of the BPA is $11 million with an ordering period through March 2027.
The purpose of the BPA 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. Cobra Canine, LLC was awarded the BPA to supply live animals, specifically working dogs, in support of these critical security and detection tasks. The Trade Agreements Act waived the Buy American Act for this procurement since the products being supplied under schedule number 88 for "Live Animals" are not domestically sourced.
The originating pre-solicitation anticipated issuing multiple BPAs for domestic and overseas working dog vendors to meet the needs of the Department of Defense working dog program. Vendors were encouraged to attend an industry day in November 2021 at Joint Base San Antonio Lackland in Texas to learn more about requirements. Questions were to be directed to the program manager to inform the development of the BPAs.
