About this file
This document is a Request for Proposal (RFx) issued by the Minnesota State Patrol (MSP) for the procurement of two untrained dual-purpose detection canines and associated equipment. The solicitation seeks European imported Belgian Malinois (or an approved equivalent) that will be available for testing during the week of May 26-29, 2025. The bid event is open from April 24, 2025, to May 2, 2025, with electronic submissions required through the SWIFT Supplier Portal. Bidders must be registered as either a bidder or supplier to participate, and non-electronic or email responses will not be accepted. The State of Minnesota reserves the right to award the contract to the lowest responsible bidder that meets all specifications and terms.
The procurement includes two line items: the canines themselves and the accompanying canine equipment, which consists of two leather waist leads (40"-44"), one leather collar, one prong collar, and one 500 series Vari kennel. The event has a diversity and inclusion component, with questions about whether the bidding company is a Minnesota-based small business or a business majority owned and operated by racial minorities, women, persons with substantial physical disabilities, veterans, or located in an economically disadvantaged county. The solicitation emphasizes electronic submission through the Supplier Portal and provides contact information for the SWIFT Contractor Assistance Helpdesk at 651.201.8100 for vendors needing registration or submission support.
