Border Patrol Untrained Canine – Detection BPK9 – El Paso, TX.The U.S. Customs and Border Protection, under the Department of Homeland Security, is seeking up to 21 untrained detection canines through a competitive RFQ issued as a 100% small business set-aside under NAICS code 112990 with a $2.75 million size standard. The solicitation follows FAR Part 12 and 13, and is conducted as a firm-fixed-price purchase order with no written solicitation issued; quotes must be submitted electronically via email by July 29, 2026, at 10:00 a.m. EST to the designated CBP point of contact, with strict formatting requirements including proper subject line labeling and submission of Attachment 3, the Canine Proposal Information form. Only offers proposing breeds specified in the Statement of Work and with canines available within 60 days of the estimated purchase order date will pass the initial Phase I elimination criteria. Phase II evaluates remaining offerors using a best-value tradeoff methodology that prioritizes open order status, followed by past performance delivering acceptable canines to CBP within the last three years, with price as a tiebreaker among similarly ranked vendors. The top-ranked offeror will receive a purchase order to deliver all quoted canines to the CBP K9 Center in El Paso, TX, where they must undergo a rigorous medical, physical, and behavioral inspection per Attachment 2; failure to meet these criteria results in rejection at the vendor’s expense, including return shipping and potential replacement if allowed under the SOW. All payments must be processed through the Treasury’s Invoice Processing Platform, and contractors must enroll and use IPP exclusively, with waivers requiring prior written approval from the contracting officer. The contractor is solely responsible for all logistics, transportation, and associated costs for shipment to and from the delivery site. Failure to meet any requirement, including non-compliance with clauses related to whistleblower rights, human trafficking, equal opportunity, identity verification, cybersecurity, small business representation, and secure invoicing, renders the quote non-responsive. The Contracting Officer holds exclusive authority to modify terms, accept nonconforming work, or obligate funds, and no work may begin before formal issuance of the delivery order.
