The Department of the Army Materiel Command Mission and Installation Contracting Command Fort Drum is soliciting qualified vendors to provide multi-purpose canines (MPCs) for Special Operations Forces (SOF) use. The required canines must be Belgian Malinois, approximately one year of age, and capable of performing explosives detection, apprehension through bite work, and human tracking operations. These animals must demonstrate exceptional resilience and be trained to operate in demanding tactical environments, including activities such as rappelling from helicopters, conducting close-quarters battle (CQB) clearance operations alongside SF operators, participating in mounted and dismounted patrols, and maintaining neutrality to gunfire at minimum baseline levels upon purchase. The solicitation was posted on March 30, 2026, with a proposal due date of April 6, 2026. While specific evaluation criteria details are not provided in the notice, the procurement emphasizes the critical importance of selecting canines with both technical capabilities and the physical and psychological attributes necessary for elite military operations.
This contract opportunity is designated as a total small business set-aside, restricting competition to qualified small business entities. The solicitation does not identify any current incumbents or provide specific award values or budget ranges for the procurement. The notice does not specify the exact quantity of canines required or detailed timeline parameters beyond the April 6, 2026 proposal deadline. The place of performance is identified as Fort Liberty, North Carolina 28310, where the procured canines will be stationed and operated. The procurement falls under NAICS category 339999 (All Other Miscellaneous Manufacturing) and PSC category 8820 (Live Animals, Not Raised For Food).
