About this opportunity
The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF), within the Department of Justice, seeks Labrador retriever detection canines under a multiple-award IDIQ contract, with proposals due November 30, 2026. The procurement is a Partial Small Business set-aside.
Place of performance is Front Royal, Virginia 22630. Phase 2 suitability testing occurs at either the contractor's facility or the National Canine Center in Front Royal, and Phase 4 training occurs at the National Canine Training Center. Contractors more than 450 miles from the training center transport canines there, and ATF covers return transportation.
ATF anticipates purchasing a minimum of one and up to 60 canines through all vendor sources over five years for explosive detection, accelerant detection, and Search Enhanced Evidence K-9 (S.E.E.K.) programs. The period of performance is one 12-month base period and four optional 12-month renewal periods. Canines must be 12 to 24 months old, altered, and bred or groomed for service or field trial purposes, and silver Labradors are not accepted. Each canine must be vaccinated against DHLPP, Rabies, and Bordetella and free of parasites, infections, viruses, and diseases. Contractors must provide digital documentation, including vaccination proof and hip and elbow radiographs, within 14 days of written notification. Canines pass a four-phase evaluation, and payment follows successful completion of all evaluations. For ineligible canines, contractors must submit a replacement within 30 days or a full refund within five business days. Pricing must be all-inclusive, covering cost of care, transportation, and associated expenses.
The stated maximum ceiling is $1,168,009.88 and the minimum obligation is $1,000.00. Offers must include three volumes: past performance (at least three relevant federal or commercial references from the last three years, rated Neutral Confidence or higher), technical approach (rated Satisfactory Confidence or higher), and price (fair and reasonable analysis). Points of contact are Contracting Officer Charles P. Strickland Jr. and Contract Specialist Nya Houston.
