Attachment 2 -Canine Proposal.xlsx

The file is an Excel-based Canine Proposal Information template for a Request for Quote (RFQ) issued by U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) for single-purpose detection canines. The solicitation (Number 20149124) seeks up to 5 untrained canines for the Border Patrol K9 Center in El Paso, TX, with a 100% small business set-aside under NAICS code 112990. CBP will award a firm-fixed-price purchase order using a best-value tradeoff method, evaluating quotes in three phases that assess breed conformance, availability, open orders, past performance, and price.

Key submission requirements include completing Attachment 2 - Canine Proposal Information and emailing quotes to JEFFREY.S.KREBS@cbp.dhs.gov by August 20th, 2025, at 10:00 AM EST. The evaluation process involves a rigorous multi-phase selection approach, with the top-ranked offeror required to deliver canines to the El Paso location for medical, physical, and behavioral evaluation. Contractors must meet specific breed requirements, have canines available within 60 days, and demonstrate successful past performance with CBP. Any canines failing the evaluation will be returned to the vendor at their expense, with potential contract termination if no acceptable canines are presented.
