The U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) requires up to seven support canines for its Border Patrol K9 Center in El Paso, Texas. This is a 100% small business set-aside, firm-fixed-price purchase order. The primary evaluation factors, in descending order of importance, are technical compliance with canine acceptance criteria, the status of any open CBP orders, past performance, and finally price. The selected contractor must deliver the canines to the specified El Paso location for a final medical, physical, and behavioral evaluation, bearing all associated transportation costs. Canines that fail this evaluation must be retrieved by the contractor at their own expense within seven days of notification.
