The amendment provides clarifications regarding a canine handler training and procurement program. The original bid opening date of March 2, 2026, at 3:00 PM was revised to March 4, 2026, at 3:00 PM. The contract pertains to a new procurement involving the training of handlers and provision of canines, with the awardee responsible for establishing and conducting a four-week training program at their facility. Handlers will attend the awardee's training facility and lodge near the training location during the four-week program duration. This is a one-time purchase contract with no renewal options.
The awardee will be responsible for providing all necessary equipment, including food, leashes, vests, and other gear for both canine and handler during the four-week training period only. Handlers will take possession of the canines during training, and the awardee must provide the training facility. The amendment clarifies that questions regarding specific work hour requirements for canines and handlers constitute privileged TDCJ information and were not disclosed. Bidders must acknowledge receipt of this amendment in their bid submission to receive consideration. The contract specialist responsible for this procurement is Carolyn Dahlen.
