Attachment 2 -Canine Proposal.xlsx

The file is a Request for Quote (RFQ) from U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) seeking up to 12 untrained single-purpose detection canines for the Field Office K9 Center in Front Royal, Virginia. The solicitation is 100% set aside for small businesses under NAICS code 112990, with a size standard of $2.75M, and will be awarded using a firm-fixed-price purchase order through a three-phase evaluation process that assesses breed conformance, availability, open orders, past performance, pricing, and physical canine evaluation.

Key submission details include quotes due by June 30, 2025, at 10:00 AM EST, with questions accepted until June 23, 2025. The evaluation will prioritize vendors with no open CBP canine orders, successful past performance providing canines to CBP, and competitive pricing. The top-ranked offeror will receive a Notice to Proceed and must deliver canines to the Front Royal location for medical, physical, and behavioral assessment. Successful vendors must provide canines meeting specific breed requirements, with availability within 60 days of the Notice to Proceed, and be prepared for potential canine returns and replacements if they do not meet CBP's stringent evaluation criteria.
