K9 Kenneling Services

The purpose of this RFQ is to provide commercial kennel facilities and services in support of the Bureau of Customs and Border Protection (CBP) Canine Enforcement Program. The contractor shall provide all labor, materials, supervision, and facilities required to provide kenneling services for the CBP canines. There are currently (26) canines kenneled at our contract facility.

The facility needs to have the capability of providing the possibility of future kennel needs meeting the same high standards as set forth in the attached Statement of Work (SOW).

The Officer needs to have the ability to independently access the facility and retrieve their canine 24 hours per day, 7 days per week. In addition to housing the canines, the contractor will also be responsible for cleaning the kennels and maintaining them in a safe and sanitary condition.
