About this opportunity
U.S. Customs and Border Protection is announcing its intent to directly solicit for canine provision to the Field Operations Canine Academy (FOK9) by August 26, 2026, under a total small business set-aside. This pre-solicitation notice is issued under the Revolutionary FAR Overhaul FAR 12.201-1(c)(2), allowing direct solicitation from suppliers for commercial simplified acquisitions at or below the Simplified Acquisition Threshold; the Government intends to award a firm-fixed-price contract through direct quotations rather than competitive proposals posted on SAM.gov. The requirement is for contractors to provide canines meeting breed conformance, availability, open order status, past performance, and technical evaluation criteria established in the statement of work. Physical inspection of canines will occur at FOK9, located in Front Royal, Virginia. The anticipated award date is September 9, 2026, subject to change. The acquisition value is estimated at or below the Simplified Acquisition Threshold.
