I. General Notes

MSRT West is a Coast Guard Deployable Specialized Forces unit that operates on the

United States west coast to include Alaska and Hawaii. The unit is home to three Canine

Explosive Detection Teams each consisting of one K9 working dog and a handler. The deployable kennel system we wish to purchase will be used to house all three dogs within the unit’s current facility but must be capable of rapid deployment via ground, air or ship to any location in our area of operations. The unit must be self-contained and able to operate in a “forward” or deployed environment with minimal external support. Our

CDET teams may grow to 4 teams in the near future and the kennel system must be outfitted to support 4 dogs.

Outdoor areas should be confined by wire mesh or similar material, should have a floor elevated off the ground, and an overhanging roof/top guard to protect MWD from direct sunlight and prevent escape. Outdoor area must be modular in that it can be broken down and store within the 20ft container during transportation.

Indoor and outdoor enclosures should be connected with a guillotine-style door adequate for the comfortable passage of a 90-lb MWD.
