Our K9 Unit consists of 13 dual purpose patrol dogs (German Shepherds), 1 single purpose tracking dog (Bloodhound), 1 single purpose narcotics detection dog (German Shepherd), 1 narcotics/currency detection dog (German Shorthaired Pointer) and 3 emotional support dogs (Goldendoodles). Scope of Work: The San Mateo County Sheriff's Office is looking for a maintenance trainer to facilitate two monthly trainings, five hours each day, on the second and fourth Tuesdays of each month. The length of the contract would be two years. The maintenance trainings would cover obedience, searching, detection and handler tactics. The trainings would ensure compliance with P.O.S.T. standards and annual qualifications. The trainings would focus on scenario based trainings to increase stress levels on handlers and decision making skills. Trainings would consist of debriefs to discuss the tactics used decisions made. In addition to the maintenance trainings, the San Mateo County Sheriff's Office K9 Unit would like to contract with the trainer for the purchase of dual and single purpose dogs over the life of the contract. The Sheriff's Office has two immediate openings and would require the purchase of dogs to fill those vacancies, with the possibility of additional dogs purchase in the near future. The price of the contract would be broken down with a cost of training per handler/dog team. The Sheriff's Office would be charged for the number of handlers/dogs in attendance at each training.

Procurement of two (2) fully trained Border Collies from Kuykendall Border Collies, LLC to Perform Wildlife Damage Management for the Hokuala Resort K9 Project
Solicitation # 1174563
This firm-fixed-price contract, awarded to Kuykendall Border Collies, LLC for 26,400.00 dollars, involves the procurement of two American Border Collie Association certified and trained K9s for the Hokuala Resort K9 Hazing Project. The primary objective is to reduce the presence of nēnē, the Hawaiian goose, around Lihue Airport to minimize aircraft strike hazards and property damage. Because traditional hazing methods are prohibited at the resort, ABCA certified dogs are required by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. The K9s must be fully trained as goose-dogs with stable temperaments, desensitized to firearms and pyrotechnics, and capable of operating from vehicles and golf carts. The period of performance runs from September 9, 2026, to March 31, 2027, with the K9s required to arrive on Kauai prior to the September 2026 breeding season. Compliance requirements include a Hawaii-specific health certificate and a rabies titer test conducted 120 days before entry into the state. Additionally, the contract includes a requirement for USDA Wildlife Services handlers to travel to North Carolina for five days of on-site training and bonding with the dogs, with travel costs budgeted separately from the award amount. This acquisition is a small business set-aside under NAICS code 812910.
