Forecast text
The FPS Canine Operations Branch's Explosives Detection Canine Program supports the mission of FPS through utilization of canine law enforcement teams that travel to Federal facilities and aid in security efforts. The Canine Operations Branch provides Explosives Detection Canine Teams (EDCT) which render federal properties safe and secure for federal employees, officials, and visitors by providing a strong visible and psychological deterrence against criminal and terrorist acts. The EDCTs conduct searches and sweeps for explosive components and respond to threats to federally owned, leased, or secured property.
The objective of this contract is to provide the FPS with high-fidelity, standardized Canine Explosive Scent Kits (CESKs). These CESK are critical for the initial imprint, training, maintenance, and operational certification of explosive detection canines. The scope encompasses the manufacture, specialized packaging, and multi-year delivery of regional, and headquarter CESKs, including, specific “extinction” training aids to ensure canine accuracy.
