Attachment 2 -Canine Proposal.xlsx

This is an Excel attachment (Attachment 2 - Canine Proposal) used in conjunction with a Request for Quote (RFQ) issued by U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) for untrained single-purpose detection canines. The solicitation (Solicitation Number 20148988) seeks up to twelve (12) canines for the Field Office K9 Center in Front Royal, Virginia, and is 100% set aside for small businesses under NAICS code 112990. The procurement will follow a three-phase evaluation process, with vendors required to submit quotes by June 30, 2025, at 10:00 AM EST, using the provided Excel template.

The acquisition will involve a comprehensive evaluation methodology, including pass/fail assessments of breed conformance and availability date, followed by a trade-off analysis considering factors such as open orders, past performance, and pricing. The top-ranked offeror will receive a Notice to Proceed and must deliver canines for medical, physical, and behavioral evaluation. Successful vendors must provide canines meeting specific breed requirements, with availability within 60 days of the Notice to Proceed. The government intends to award a firm-fixed-price purchase order to the most advantageous quote, with a total focus on obtaining high-quality detection canines for CBP's Office of Training and Development.
