INL/Costa Rica: Green Canines

The U.S. Department of State, on behalf of the U.S. Embassy in San José, is seeking a vendor to supply forty (40) single‑purpose “green” detection canines for Costa Rican law‑enforcement agencies. The contract will be firm‑fixed‑price and awarded using a best‑value trade‑off process that emphasizes technical acceptability and past performance over price. Deliveries will occur in two batches of 20 canines, spaced roughly four to five months apart, with each batch required to be shipped to San José International Airport within 30 days of acceptance. The vendor must provide the dogs, all required equipment, vaccines, a 10‑day food supply, and handle export/import documentation, testing, and warranty obligations. Proposals must include a technical approach, past‑performance references (3‑5), and a pricing matrix in Excel.
