- Description
- This is a Notice of Intent, not a request for proposal.� The National Institutes of Health, NIH Police Division intends to negotiate on an other than full and open competition basis with Alpha Canine Training Center, Inc., located at 101 Loan Wolf Drive, Madison, MS 39110 for the purchase of three canines to fill three of the Explosive Detection Dog vacancies at the Division of Police. The NIH Police K9 unit has followed changes in professional trends which demonstrate effectiveness in fine tuning our K9 Teams in odor detection in the specific context of Law Enforcement. Over the past couple of years, we have adopted K9 training methods from Master Trainer�s Randy Hare and Jeff Schettler. The guiding principle from both Master Trainers is that the dog knows how to follow or locate odor, so we let the dog educate himself. The handler�s new task is to keep the dog safe and strive to NOT be an impediment to his search. The statutory authority for this sole source requirement is 41 U.S.C. 1901 (a) (1) as implemented by FAR 13.106-1 only one responsible source and no other supply of service will satisfy agency requirements. THIS IS NOT A REQUEST FOR PROPOSAL.� All responsible sources that could provide comparable services may submit a capability statement that will be considered by email (subject line to reference NOI-OLAO-23-6804174) to Ms. Van Holley at holleyv@od.nih.gov. All responses received by the closing date of this synopsis will be considered by the Government. A determination not to compete this requirement, based upon responses to this notice, is solely within the discretion of the Government.
