About the company
American K-9 Detection Services, LLC, doing business as Amk9, is a child subsidiary of Academi LLC that provides certified canine explosive detection services to federal agencies as a prime contractor across civilian security, law enforcement, and defense missions. Amk9 operates as a for-profit limited liability company based in Moyock, North Carolina, and competes exclusively in full-and-open procurements with no set-aside designations across its recent federal work.
Amk9's capability portfolio centers on certified K-9 detection teams deployed for explosive, narcotic, human remains, mine, mold, and contraband detection, as well as protection and patrol services. The vendor supplies personnel with military and law enforcement backgrounds holding ATF and DEA licensing, with independently certified canines deployed worldwide across military installations, government buildings, airports, seaports, and federal facilities. Representative work includes a $163,440 delivery order from the Federal Emergency Management Agency on September 30, 2026, for canine explosive detection services at FEMA's Washington, DC headquarters running through September 29, 2027, on a firm fixed-price basis, and a $87,654.56 definitive contract awarded to FEMA on September 30, 2025, for facility security and anti-terrorism measures at the same location. Most recently, on March 11, 2025, GSA awarded Amk9 a $700,000 Federal Supply Schedule contract through March 10, 2030, under Special Item Number 812910 (Certified K-9 Explosives Detection Teams), with hourly rates for K-9 teams ranging from $78.58 to $137.89 depending on service type and geography.
The top five customer agencies by potential value account for 98% of combined potential value and are anchored by two $410 million Army Materiel Command awards (Contracting Command Rock Island Arsenal and Joint Munitions Command). By award count, concentration is more distributed: Defense Logistics Agency Distribution leads with 11 awards ($790 thousand combined potential value), followed by DHS Chief Procurement Officer (7 awards, $310 thousand) and four each to the Department of State's Bureau of International Narcotics Law Enforcement ($21.9 million) and Department of the Army Central Command ($227.8 million). Amk9 holds a position on the GSA Multiple Award Schedule, which anchors 11 task orders carrying $640.2 million in combined potential value. Activity is sparse across the recent five-year window — one award in 2026, two in 2025, none in 2024–2023, then four in 2015 and one in 2014 — reflecting episodic rather than sustained procurement cycles. Only one award ($163 thousand) reaches ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months.
