Border Patrol Request for Quote (RFQ) for Patrol (Dual Purpose) Canines
The U.S. Customs and Border Protection is seeking quotes for the supply of up to three dual-purpose patrol canines for its K9 Center in El Paso, Texas. This opportunity is a 100% small business set-aside, with a firm-fixed-price purchase order anticipated. Quotes must be submitted by July 16, 2026, and the government will evaluate offers using a phased approach, prioritizing technical factors and past performance over price. The top-ranked offeror will receive a purchase order and must deliver the canines to El Paso, TX, for medical and behavioral evaluation, bearing all transportation costs. Canines that fail evaluation will be returned at the contractor's expense, and the government may terminate the order for convenience if no canines pass.
