Support K9 for BPK9

Customs and Border Protection (CBP) is issuing a small‑business‑only RFQ (NAICS 112990, size standard $2.75 M) for up to three support canines to be delivered to the U.S. Border Patrol Canine Academy in El Paso, Texas. The contractor must provide healthy, training‑ready dogs that meet CBP’s medical and behavioral standards (normal cardiovascular/respiratory function, no heartworm, no hip/elbow dysplasia, no unhealed fractures, etc.) and be prepared to transport the animals to CBP for on‑site medical, physical and behavioral inspection as outlined in Attachment 1. All quotes must be submitted by email in the prescribed format (subject line “Vendor Name, PR Number” and completed Attachment 2‑Canine Proposal Information.xlsx); non‑conforming submissions will be rejected. Evaluation will occur in three phases—Phase I pass/fail, Phase II trade‑off of price and non‑price factors, and Phase III technical inspection of the canines. The award will be made to the most advantageous offer under FAR 12/13, with price considered after technical factors. The contract is a total small‑business set‑aside (FAR 19.5), incorporates numerous FAR clauses (e.g., 52.203‑13, 52.222‑35, etc.), and requires electronic invoicing through the Treasury’s Invoice Processing Platform. No costs may be incurred prior to a fully executed delivery order or specific CO authorization, and CBP may procure additional canines if funds allow.
