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.

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.
