The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) is seeking facility canines to support employees responding to traumatic events. The canines will be used by the Employee Assistance Unit (EAU) and must meet specific requirements, including breed and temperament standards. The FBI is seeking information from potential providers of facility dogs to determine the market capability to provide canines that meet their requirements.
• The canines must be able to navigate a wide array of populations and settings where services are provided.
• The canines must exhibit balanced, adaptive, and functional behavior specific to law enforcement type settings.
• The canines must be able to walk by other dogs, people, children, and adults in public and maintain work ethic.
• The canines must be able to enter and exit buildings, change pace and direction, and stop and start on a loose leash throughout a public building.
• The canines must be able to pass a public access test to ensure they are not a public hazard and are stable, well-behaved, and unobtrusive to the public.
