Border Patrol Untrained Canine – Detection BPK9 – El Paso, TX.
CBP anticipates awarding a firm-fixed-price purchase order for 15 untrained detection canines in support of its Office of Training and Development/Border Patrol K9 Center, with an option to procure additional canines based on fund availability; the requirement is 100% set aside for small businesses under NAICS 112990. Delivery and canine evaluation will occur at U.S. Customs and Border Protection, 11617 Iron Soldiers Way, El Paso, TX 79916. Offerors must quote specified breeds and an availability date within 60 days of the estimated purchase order date to pass initial screening. Evaluation then considers open CBP canine orders, past performance, and price, followed by CBP medical, physical, and behavioral evaluation of the proposed canines. Canines that fail evaluation will not be accepted, and the contractor must remove them within 7 days at its own expense, with replacements potentially permitted under the statement of work.
