Complete training for single purpose detection dog: Pepper Training will be 4-5 weeks, dates TBD

The Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission awarded contract C6BB6E on January 27, 2026, for specialized canine training services. The contract is valued at $12,500.00 and is scheduled for completion by June 30, 2026. The deliverable consists of a single-purpose detection dog training program for a canine identified as Pepper, with the training curriculum anticipated to span 4-5 weeks at dates to be determined.

The prime contractor will provide comprehensive training services to prepare the detection dog for operational deployment within the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission's programs. No specific location of performance is identified in the contract documentation. The relatively short performance window of approximately five months from award to completion date, combined with the training timeline of 4-5 weeks, indicates that the majority of the contract period is allocated to training execution and final delivery of the trained asset.
