Request for Quote (RFQ) for Detection Canines (FOK9) for the Border Patrol K9 Center in Front Royal, VA

Solicitation # 20155228

The U.S. Customs and Border Protection, under the Department of Homeland Security, is soliciting quotes for up to 33 detection canines to support training operations at the Field Operations Canine Academy in Front Royal, Virginia. This solicitation is a full small business set-aside under NAICS code 112990 with a $2.75 million size standard, and it follows the Federal Acquisition Regulation under Parts 12 and 13, with no written solicitation issued. Offers must conform to the Statement of Work outlined in Attachment 2, specifying acceptable canine breeds and performance standards, and must be submitted electronically by August 14, 2026, at 10:00 AM EST to the designated email address in a prescribed format, including the completed Canine Proposal Information spreadsheet. Failure to comply with submission guidelines disqualifies the quote. Evaluation occurs in three phases: Phase I is a pass/fail review of breed conformity and availability within 60 days of the purchase order date; failure in either results in automatic exclusion. Phase II applies a trade-off methodology prioritizing open order status, past performance with CBP, and then price, among remaining offerors. Phase III requires the top-ranked vendor to deliver all canines for in-person medical, physical, and behavioral evaluation at the Front Royal facility; the contractor bears all shipping costs. Canines failing evaluation are rejected at the vendor’s expense, and the contractor must remove them within seven days. CBP reserves the right to terminate the order without cost if no canines pass evaluation, and will resolicit. Payment must be processed electronically via the Invoice Processing Platform (IPP), and the Contracting Officer holds exclusive authority to modify terms, accept work, or obligate funds.

Phase II is a trade-off evaluation ranking offerors based first on open order status, then past performance with CBP over the last three years, and finally price, with the top-ranked offeror moving to Phase III. Phase III requires the selected vendor to transport the full quantity of canines to the Field Operations Canine Academy in Front Royal, Virginia, for comprehensive medical, physical, and behavioral evaluation against the Statement of Work.
