This is a Design Criteria Manual supporting a concession solicitation issued by the Greater Orlando Aviation Authority for an Automated Retail Concession at Orlando International Airport in Orange County, Florida. The solicitation seeks an experienced proposer to manage and operate automated retail equipment across ten designated spaces totaling 320 square feet distributed across Airsides 1, 2, 3, and 4 of the terminal complex. The equipment must be operational 24/7 and accept at least two nationally recognized credit cards, offering product categories including tech retail (electronics, gadgets, accessories) and general retail (health and beauty products, toys, gifts, local accessories). A pre-proposal meeting is scheduled for April 24, 2025, with proposals due on May 19, 2025. The selection committee meeting is tentatively scheduled for June 10, 2025, with Aviation Authority approval anticipated on July 16, 2025. The concession term is set for five years with no renewal options mentioned.

Financial requirements stipulate a minimum 15 percent of gross receipts paid to the Aviation Authority. Proposers must demonstrate a minimum of three years of experience managing an automated retail business with at least $1,000,000 in annual gross receipts. The current incumbent, Prepango, generated historical annual sales ranging from $698,431 to $2,002,530 during fiscal years 2019–2024. Evaluation criteria are weighted as follows: concepts and product quality (30%), demonstrated experience (25%), concession equipment (15%), and financial return (30%). The solicitation encourages Airport Concession Disadvantaged Business Enterprise (ACDBE) participation to promote small and socially disadvantaged businesses. Specific designated spaces measuring 5' x 6.4' are mapped in architectural drawings provided as part of the solicitation package.
