Moderate supply chain risk warrants some contingency planning. Buyers of explosive detection services face a moderate level of supply chain risk due to the limited number of qualified breeders and handlers and working-dog availability. Furthermore, this market is subject to surges in demand around major events or increases in threat environments. Buyers should build flexibility into their contracts through surge capacity clauses, confirm vendors maintain capacity beyond the minimum deployed team count, and establish preferred relationships so vendors prioritize their deployments during periods of heightened demand.
What factors affect the price of Explosive Detection Services?
Deployments can be either static, with explosive detection teams stationed at fixed points, or active, with teams sweeping areas for explosives. Active deployments cost more because they involve directing a dog through complex and unpredictable environments, which increases training requirements.
