About this file
This is Amendment No. 1 to Bid No. IW205718 issued by the Texas Department of Criminal Justice (TDCJ) Contracts and Procurement Department. The amendment modifies the bid opening date from January 16, 2025 at 3:00 PM to January 20, 2025 at 3:00 PM and provides answers to questions regarding the procurement of military working dogs. The answers clarify that TDCJ seeks dogs aged 1-3 years old of any gender for single-purpose apprehension work. The handler training course will be 3-4 weeks long and does not need to include tracking. The dogs will follow NNDDA certification standards.
The amendment provides technical clarifications about the canine requirements, specifying that the dogs do not need to be imprinted on odors prior to purchase and will not be used for dual-purpose or multipurpose roles. Bidders must acknowledge receipt of this amendment either on the face of their bid or by returning a signed copy of the notice. The amendment preserves all other terms and conditions of the original solicitation, including submission requirements to the Huntsville, Texas location.
