Dark Moon Farms & Kennels LLC

Dark Moon Farms & Kennels LLC, doing business as Nose Dogs Detection Services, is a woman-owned small business and self-certified small disadvantaged business based in Montello, Nevada, that supplies trained and untrained detection and patrol canines to federal agencies operating exclusively as a prime contractor. The vendor competes predominantly under small-business set-asides, with five customer agencies accounting for 100% of the award portfolio.

The vendor's concrete capability is supply of explosive detection, narcotics detection, and patrol canines to federal law enforcement and security missions. Recent awards include a $115,000 BPA call from the Transportation Security Administration (issued August 1, 2026) for ten basic explosive detection canines with performance in San Antonio, Texas; a $34,000 purchase order from Customs and Border Protection (February 9, 2026) for four support canines in El Paso, Texas; a $57,500 purchase order from CBP (September 16, 2024) for U.S. bred canines supporting border security operations; and a $100,000 purchase order from CBP (August 15, 2024) for untrained canines.

Dark Moon Farms holds two principal blanket purchase agreements. A $638,000 multiple-award BPA with the Transportation Security Administration (established September 23, 2024, running through September 22, 2029) covers trained working dogs and associated services and incorporates TSA Cybersecurity Supply Chain Risk Management requirements and Executive Order 14398 compliance. An $11 million multiple-award BPA with the Air Force Materiel Command Installation and Mission Support Center Security Forces Center (established March 31, 2022, running through March 30, 2027) provides trained working dogs for patrol, drug and explosive detection, and specialized mission functions across Department of Defense and other government agencies.

Customer concentration is heavily skewed by vehicle size. The Air Force Security Forces Center anchors $11 million (86% of combined potential value) through its single large BPA, while Customs and Border Protection leads by award count with six orders totaling $341,000 in combined potential value. The Transportation Security Administration holds two awards totaling $753,000, the Department of Agriculture two awards totaling $635,000, and Air Education and Training Command three awards totaling $41,000. All fourteen awards in the portfolio are set under the PSC code for live animals not raised for food. One award (the Air Force BPA) carries no set-aside designation; the remainder are designated as total small business set-asides. Combined obligated dollars across the fourteen awards stand at $497,000 (4% of the $12.8 million combined potential value), indicating significant unexercised ceiling headroom across the vehicle portfolio. The vendor has received awards consistently over the past five years, with two awards in 2019, two in 2021, two in 2022, three in 2024, and two in 2026.
