Description
The City of Spokane Police Department’s K‑9 unit is seeking a qualified vendor to supply live police patrol apprehension dogs. The contract calls for a vendor with expertise in European‑bred working dogs, the ability to raise puppies to a working‑dog level, and to deliver the animals to Spokane, WA. The vendor must provide a minimum one‑year health guarantee and a one‑year performance warranty, supply all health and examination records, and remain available for post‑delivery training support. The solicitation is an open competition (RFQ) with a clarification deadline of March 25 2024 and a quote submission deadline of April 1 2024. Funding may come from federal DOJ Justice Assistance Grants, so compliance with federal requirements is required. The City will evaluate price, quality, vendor capability, and past performance, and may purchase additional dogs at the quoted price. No budget ceiling is disclosed; vendors must price each dog (including sales tax) in the ProcureWare portal.
