About this opportunity
The Department of the Interior Interior Business Center has awarded contract 140D0426P0285 to the University of Guam, Department of Agriculture/Biosecurity Division, on a sole-source basis for K-9 support services to monitor and detect invasive species in the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands.
The procurement responds to urgent biosecurity concerns following Super Typhoon Sinlaku and Bavi (DR-4910-MP). Disaster relief cargo movements through Guam ports create high-risk pathways for introducing the Little Fire Ant and Coconut Rhinoceros Beetle to CNMI, necessitating immediate K-9 detection services. The Contracting Officer invoked RFO 12.102(a) (urgency and specialized requirement) as the statutory authority. Market research—including evaluation of AbilityOne, Federal Supply Schedules, GWACs, MACs, and a Sources Sought notice (August 4–7, 2026)—identified no viable alternatives capable of providing K-9 detection services for the species of concern. The University of Guam possesses trained personnel and canine teams with geographic proximity enabling immediate deployment; delays would significantly harm government interests by increasing ecological and economic risks and complicating FEMA recovery operations. The procurement is a purchase order with up to a four-week performance period. Place of performance is 303 University DR, Mangilao, Guam 96913. The determination was signed by Contracting Officer Joan Clarkston on September 10, 2026, and concurred by Program Manager/COR Pasquale Scida on September 11, 2026.
