About the company
Puppies Behind Bars, Inc., a woman-owned nonprofit organization based in New York, trains service and detection canines for federal law enforcement as a prime contractor on a full-and-open basis, with no set-aside designations across its federal footprint. The vendor holds a $575,999.00 indefinite-delivery contract with the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) through July 27, 2026, and operates 100% as a prime — no subcontracting activity in the source data.
The vendor's customer concentration is extreme: ATF accounts for 49 of 64 awards and $1.5 million of the $1.8 million combined potential value, covering 81% of all recent awards. The Federal Bureau of Investigation's Headquarters Division is the only other customer agency represented, with 3 awards totaling $9 thousand. Both rankings align, indicating a single-customer dependency model. The vendor's service portfolio centers on procurement of trained Labrador retrievers for law enforcement purposes — specifically accelerant detection, explosive detection, and search operations to support ATF's investigative missions and violent crime prevention efforts. Representative work includes a June 25, 2026 delivery order for eight canines valued at $34,400 with a June 24, 2027 completion date, a July 10, 2025 order for five canines at $21,000, and a February 21, 2025 combined order for 14 canines at $25,200, all under the ATF IDIQ.
The vendor's activity trajectory is flat to declining — three awards in 2022 and 2023, two in 2024 and 2025, and one in 2026 to date. A single award with $34 thousand in potential value faces recompete within the next twenty-four months. Vehicle holdings are concentrated on ATF-issued IDIQs across multiple procurement cycles: the current vehicle (15A00021DAQA00434, issued July 28, 2021) has generated 12 task orders; a prior ATF Canine Procurement IDIQ generated 14 task orders for $348 thousand; earlier cycles (ATF Canine Procurement IDIQ 2011–2016 and ATF Canines and Related Supplies 2016–2020) produced 19 and 12 task orders respectively. Place of performance is predominantly New York, NY, with one delivery order performed from Front Royal, Virginia. The vendor has maintained a SAM registration since 2005. The organization's broader mission — involving incarcerated individuals in service dog and detection canine training — feeds the federal supply chain for ATF's law enforcement canine program.
