How to bid on military working dogs for the Department of the Air Force
What the Air Force is seeking
The 772nd Enterprise Sourcing Squadron at Joint Base San Antonio (Lackland) is seeking sources able to provide fully trained military working dogs for a Department of Defense-wide requirement. The dogs are for the 341st Training Squadron and may be patrol/explosive and/or patrol/drug dogs.
This is a sources-sought notice, not a solicitation. The Air Force will use responses to learn about qualified sources and their business size classifications as it considers acquisition decisions. Responding now does not replace responding to a later solicitation.
Key date and what the deadline means
The notice was published October 24, 2026. The response deadline is November 2, 2026, at 3:00 PM ET.
Submit a response by the stated deadline to be considered for this market research. The notice says a solicitation announcement will be published in SAM.gov after the government reviews the sources-sought responses; interested vendors will need to respond to that solicitation separately.
Who this opportunity may suit
This notice is relevant to firms that can provide fully trained patrol/explosive and/or patrol/drug dogs for military working dog programs. The stated NAICS code is 112990.
The Air Force is seeking information about potential sources and their size classifications, including HUBZone, 8(a), small, small disadvantaged, and large businesses.

Prepare a clear sources-sought response
Explain plainly which type of fully trained dog your firm can provide: patrol/explosive, patrol/drug, or both. Describe your relevant capability and identify your business size classification accurately.
Review the attached draft document before preparing your response, and make sure your information directly addresses the requirement described there. Keep a copy of what you submit and track the later SAM.gov solicitation, since this response is not an offer and does not count as a response to that solicitation.
