Canine Tracking Unit support

The Florida Indefinite Delivery Vehicle (IDV) A3077 is a Master Agreement focused on providing specialized canine tracking unit support to law enforcement agencies, specifically designed for inter-agency collaboration between the Florida Department of Corrections and the Liberty County Sheriff's Office. The IDV enables the deployment of canine tracking teams consisting of a canine sergeant and two correctional officers to assist in critical operational scenarios such as locating escaped offenders, missing persons, and endangered individuals within Liberty County and surrounding correctional jurisdictions.

The master agreement was awarded to the Liberty County Sheriff's Office by the Department of Corrections, with an initial performance period from March 7, 2013, to March 6, 2016. This contract type is structured as a Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) covering the state of Florida, specifically targeting Calhoun, Franklin, and Liberty Correctional Institutions. Notably, the agreement operates on a no-cost basis, with each agency responsible for its own expenses, and includes provisions for annual review and potential modifications. The IDV emphasizes operational flexibility, allowing for canine unit deployment upon request while maintaining the Department of Corrections' discretion in resource allocation.
