About this opportunity
The United States Marshals Service (USMS) Asset Forfeiture Division filed this Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition (JOFOC) on February 13, 2026, to award a sole-source bridge contract to K2K9 Solutions LLC for the provision of comprehensive canine care and support services related to seized and forfeited animals involved in illegal fighting operations. The services include kenneling, veterinary treatment, food, behavioral assessments, transportation, disposal services, and expert witness support for dogs held as federal assets. The USMS determined that K2K9 Solutions LLC is the only responsible vendor capable of providing immediate nationwide seizure response within 48 hours while maintaining evidentiary continuity and chain-of-custody requirements for the 208 dogs currently in federal custody, with established facilities, licensed veterinarians, trained staff, and specialized equipment meeting USDA and DOJ standards. The estimated contract ceiling is $499,999.99 under a Firm Fixed Price structure, with performance extending from contract award through August 31, 2026, and potential extension options thereafter. Market research conducted in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2024 confirmed that no other vendors could meet the immediate and specialized requirements, supporting the justification for sole-source award. This bridge contract will provide continuity pending completion of a concurrent competitive recompete anticipated for award in the third quarter of fiscal year 2026.
