This is a Request for Quote (RFQ) for single-purpose canines for the U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) Border Patrol K9 Center in El Paso, TX. The solicitation seeks up to 7 untrained detection canines, with a total set-aside for small businesses under NAICS code 112990. Vendors must submit quotes by August 20th, 2025, at 10:00 AM EST, using the provided Attachment 2 - Canine Proposal Information spreadsheet, with evaluation conducted in three phases focusing on breed conformance, availability, open orders, past performance, and pricing.

The solicitation includes a detailed evaluation process where vendors will be initially screened for breed and availability, then ranked based on existing CBP orders and past performance. The top-ranked offeror will receive a purchase order and be required to deliver canines to the El Paso location for medical, physical, and behavioral evaluation. Successful vendors must provide canines that meet specific criteria outlined in the Statement of Work, with the government reserving the right to reject canines that do not pass evaluation. The contract will be a firm-fixed-price purchase order, with award determined by the most advantageous quote considering price and non-price factors.
