About this opportunity
The Department of the Army Materiel Command Mission and Installation Contracting Command Fort Drum is seeking animal control services to shelter, feed, and care for stray animals recovered from the Fort Drum installation in New York. The contractor must provide all necessary resources and maintain a facility located within 40 miles of the installation, with core operating hours of 7:30 AM to 4:00 PM Monday through Friday, though services may be required outside these hours and on weekends. Key requirements include retrieving animals within three hours of government contact, sheltering and caring for animals for five days while attempting to contact owners, maintaining detailed monthly reports on all animals received and their disposition, and complying with all federal, state, and local regulations including obtaining Department of Defense identification and Anti-Terrorism Level I training. Performance will be evaluated based on specific Acceptance Quality Levels including 90% compliance for timely animal retrieval, 100% facility location compliance, 90% compliance for owner contact within five days, 90% compliance for limiting government invoicing to 30 days, and 90% compliance for timely monthly reporting. This is a Sources Sought Notice with a response deadline of March 5, 2026, and interested parties should monitor the Governmentwide Point of Entry for any future formal solicitation.
This procurement is set aside as a Total Small Business contract, and the government will only proceed with the small business set-aside if two or more qualified small businesses respond with capability information. All socioeconomic categories of small businesses are encouraged to participate, including 8(a) Business Development Program firms, Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned businesses, Women-Owned Small Businesses, and Historically Underutilized Business Zone concerns. The notice does not identify current contractors or provide a specific contract award value or budget range. The contractor must maintain comprehensive insurance coverage including New York State Workers' Compensation, Employer's Liability of $100,000, General Liability of $500,000 per occurrence for bodily injury, and Automobile Liability with minimum coverage of $200,000 per person and $500,000 per occurrence for bodily injury plus $20,000 per occurrence for property damage. While this is currently a sources sought notice and not a formal solicitation, interested small businesses should prepare to demonstrate their capabilities to meet these requirements should a formal request for quote or invitation for bid be issued.
