05626B0001-Untrained, Explosive-Detection-Capable Police Service Canines

The New York City Police Department (NYPD) Transit Bureau Canine Unit is soliciting bids for the supply of a minimum of thirty (30) untrained, Explosives Detection-capable canines to enhance patrols in the New York City subway system. These canines will be deployed to perform sweeps of crowded subway platforms, busy mezzanines, stairs, escalators, and similar environments. The canines must be capable of operating in conditions involving a barrage of noises, near moving parts, and overlapping odors. Their temperament must be bold enough to remain focused, undistracted, and effective in many underground transit settings, yet docile enough to safely operate in close proximity to over 5.7 million passengers daily. • The canines will be used for patrols in the New York City subway system • The canines must be capable of operating in crowded and noisy environments • The canines must be able to perform sweeps of subway platforms, mezzanines, stairs, escalators, and similar environments • The canines must be able to operate in close proximity to over 5.7 million passengers daily
