FY27 - K-9 Program - Canines

The Oklahoma Department of Corrections, through the Office of Management and Enterprise Services, is soliciting quotes for the procurement of ten tracking canines trained in narcotics and contraband detection. Each canine must be between 9 and 24 months old upon completion of training and must be medically screened by a U.S. licensed veterinarian, including hip-X-rays to certify the absence of hip dysplasia. The contract requires the supplier to provide a minimum 80-hour training block for handlers focusing on human scent trailing, tracking, and locating. This training must take place in one of several specified states, and the supplier is responsible for providing hotel or housing accommodations for the handler teams at no cost to the agency. Eligible bidders must have at least 36 months of experience providing similar products or services and must provide three business references. The award process will evaluate the executive summary, pricing, and the volume of requested exceptions to the state's terms and conditions. All canines must originate from the United States or a non-high-risk country as defined by the CDC. Payment terms are net 45 days via purchase card, and the supplier is responsible for all shipping and handling fees. Final acceptance occurs at the destination upon inspection to ensure proficiency meets ODOC policy OP-040120. Bidders must submit their responses via the Oklahoma Supplier Portal by the December 2, 2026, deadline.
