Attachment 2 -Canine Proposal.xlsx

The document is a Request for Quote (RFQ) for up to 5 single-purpose canines for the U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) Border Patrol K9 Center in El Paso, TX. The solicitation (Number 20149125) is 100% set aside for small businesses, with a NAICS code of 112990 and a size standard of $2.75M. CBP seeks untrained detection canines, with vendors required to submit quotes by August 20th, 2025, at 10:00 AM EST to JEFFREY.S.KREBS@cbp.dhs.gov.

The evaluation process is multi-phased, including pass/fail assessments of breed conformance and availability date, followed by a trade-off evaluation considering factors such as open orders, past performance, and pricing. The top-ranked offeror will receive a purchase order and must deliver canines to the El Paso location for medical, physical, and behavioral evaluation. Any canines failing the evaluation will be returned to the vendor at the vendor's expense, with potential for solicitation re-opening if no acceptable canines are presented. The government intends to make a single award using a firm-fixed-price purchase order, with the most advantageous quote determined through a comprehensive assessment of technical and pricing factors.
