The U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) Border Patrol K9 Center in El Paso, TX is seeking quotes for up to 15 untrained detection canines (with the option for additional canines if funds allow). The procurement will be a firm‑fixed‑price purchase order, set aside for small businesses, and will require the vendor to supply the dogs, transport them to the CBP facility, and meet detailed breed, age, health, and behavioral criteria outlined in the Statement of Work. Evaluation will be based on technical compliance, past performance, open orders, and price, with a phased evaluation process that includes physical inspection of the dogs. The deadline for quote submission is November 4, 2026, and questions must be submitted by November 2, 2026.
• Provide 15 detection dogs (German Shepherd, Dutch Shepherd, Belgian Malinois, Tervuren, or approved equivalents) aged 10‑36 months, meeting strict health and behavioral standards.
• Deliver dogs to CBP’s Iron Soldiers Way facility, covering all transportation costs; CBP will conduct medical, behavioral, and selection testing.
• Vendor must handle any non‑acceptable dogs (return within 7 days, replace within 30 days) and maintain a 6‑month warranty after acceptance.
• Evaluation phases: Phase I (breed & availability compliance), Phase II (open orders, past performance, price), Phase III (physical inspection).
