This Blanket Purchase Agreement (BPA) was awarded by the U.S. Department of State's Bureau of International Narcotics Law Enforcement (INL) to Hill Country Dog Center LLC, a woman-owned small business. Under this multiple-award BPA, Hill Country Dog Center will provide specialized working canines and related services to support INL's canine programs in various countries, including Ecuador, the Dominican Republic, Costa Rica, Peru, and Guatemala. The contracted services include furnishing selection-tested, single-purpose detector dogs for narcotics detection, tracking persons, explosives detection, and currency detection, as well as providing canine accessories and training. The BPA calls have a cumulative potential value of over $1.5 million and span performance periods from 2018 to 2021, with no set-aside designations. Hill Country Dog Center has a history of providing similar canine-related products and services to INL and the State Department's Office of Acquisition Management through previous prime federal contracts.
The primary purpose of this BPA is to establish a streamlined contracting vehicle for INL to efficiently procure working canines and associated services to support its overseas counter-narcotics and law enforcement capacity building programs. The canines supplied will be donated by the U.S. government to partner nations to bolster their own canine detection and interdiction capabilities. This BPA provides INL with a flexible, pre-competed contract mechanism to rapidly meet its dynamic requirements for specialized detector dogs and handlers in a cost-effective manner.
