The Federal Bureau of Investigation is conducting market research through a Request for Information to identify qualified vendors capable of supplying fully trained explosive detection canines, specifically Labrador Retrievers, to support FBI Police operations securing federal facilities and high-profile events. The RFI requires vendors to provide canines between 10 and 18 months of age that are pre-trained, exhibit strong toy drive and environmental stability, and possess a confident, non-aggressive temperament free from behavioral or medical impairments. Each canine must come with complete veterinary records, up-to-date vaccinations, and a medical guarantee covering specified health conditions, ensuring the animals are physically sound and capable of performing reliably in diverse urban and outdoor environments. Respondents must include their Unique Entity ID and CAGE code, declare their small business or socioeconomic status, and submit a consolidated response not exceeding ten pages in Word or PDF format via email to the designated point of contact by the May 11, 2026 deadline, with no submissions accepted through other channels or formats. This solicitation is strictly for market research under FAR 15.201(e), with no binding commitment from the government to issue a subsequent contract, no defined evaluation criteria or award process, and no pricing, CLINs, or contract value information provided. The place of performance is in Washington, D.C., and while the FBI has outlined clear canine characteristics, health requirements, and documentation expectations, there are no contract clauses, packaging or marking specifications, payment instructions, inspection procedures, or special requirements such as security clearances or options formally defined at this stage. The RFI is designed to assess industry capabilities and inform potential future procurements, with all responses serving solely as information for planning purposes. Contractors are advised that this is not a solicitation for offers, and no financial obligations, delivery schedules, or contractual obligations arise from submission.
