CM_Minimum_qualificatins_update.pdf

This is an email communication regarding minimum qualifications updates for a Request for Proposal issued by the Kenton County Airport Board (KCAB) for Information Technology Equipment & Commodity Software. The email, dated May 14, 2026, is from Saundra Weddington, Manager of IT Operations at Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky International Airport, to Shkelzen Halili, requesting deletion of a statement requiring vendors to be located in the United States. The RFP specifies that questions must be submitted by 11:59 pm on Monday, June 1, 2026, with answers posted no later than Thursday, June 4, 2026 at 11:59 pm. Proposals are due by Thursday, June 11, 2026 at 2:00 pm, with no proposals accepted after that deadline unless extended by KCAB addendum.

The email indicates an amendment to the vendor qualification requirements, specifically removing geographic restrictions that would have limited eligible bidders to United States-based companies. This modification expands the potential vendor pool to include international suppliers, suggesting KCAB's intent to increase competition and potentially access a broader range of IT equipment and commodity software solutions. No pricing terms, set-asides, incumbents, or funding information is detailed in this correspondence.
