CBP Untrained Canine – Detection, FOK9 DETACHMENT LOCATED AT THE EL PASO CANINE CENTER
The Department of Homeland Security, through Customs and Border Protection (CBP), is seeking up to 27 detection canines to be delivered to the FOK9 Detachment at the El Paso Canine Center in El Paso, TX. This opportunity is 100% set aside for small businesses under NAICS 112990, with a firm-fixed-price purchase order anticipated. The evaluation uses a phased tradeoff approach: Phase I is pass/fail based on breed conformance and a canine availability date of 60 days or sooner from the estimated purchase order date. Phase II ranks offerors by open order status, past performance, and price, with the top-ranked offeror receiving a purchase order for Phase III—a physical, medical, and behavioral evaluation of the canines at CBP’s location (contractor covers all transport costs). Any canines that fail evaluation must be removed within 7 days, with the contractor bearing return expenses; if none pass, CBP may terminate the order for convenience.
