Explosive Detection Canine - RFI

The FBI’s Finance and Facilities Division is issuing a Request for Information (RFI) to gather market data on qualified vendors that can supply trained explosive‑detection canines for FBI Police K9 teams. Respondents must identify their legal/DBA name, address, point of contact, UEI, CAGE code, facility clearance (if any), applicable NAICS codes, business size (including Small Business, SDVOSB, HUBZone, WOSB), GSA Schedule status, and any NASA SEWP contract information. The RFI seeks evidence of technical ability, personnel, and experience to provide canines that meet the FBI’s specific characteristics: Labrador Retriever (floppy‑eared preferred), male or female (intact), 10‑18 months old at pickup, pre‑trained, strong toy drive, high stamina, pronounced environmental stability, and the capacity to operate on stairs (open and closed back), slick or unfamiliar flooring, dark or noisy environments, and with limited vehicle motion tolerance. Canines previously exposed to other target odors (e.g., accelerants, explosives, narcotics) are excluded. Responses are limited to a maximum of ten pages (12‑point Times New Roman or Arial), submitted in Microsoft Word or PDF to Ricardo Tiggle (rtiggle@fbi.gov) no later than 10 a.m. EST on 5 November 2026. The submission must include a concise capability package addressing the listed requirements, the company’s socio‑economic status, and, if applicable, GSA Schedule and SIN information. This RFI is for market research only; it does not constitute a solicitation, offer, or contract commitment, and no funds will be reimbursed for response preparation.
