This is an internal email chain from the Greater Orlando Aviation Authority (a Florida-based agency) regarding the procurement intake and review of a Passenger Boarding Ramps solicitation (IFB 26-598). The solicitation requests two universal passenger boarding ramps for Orlando International Airport: one narrow-body aircraft ramp accommodating aircraft from E190 to A321 and one wide-body aircraft ramp accommodating aircraft from B767 to A380. The procurement also includes on-site installation, setup, testing, commissioning, and training services. The question submission deadline is April 6, 2026 at 4:00 p.m., addenda will be released by April 13, 2026, and bid responses are due April 27, 2026 at 2:00 p.m. Committee recommendation is scheduled for May 26, 2026, with Aviation Authority Board approval anticipated June 17, 2026. Delivery is required within 90 days of purchase order receipt, on or about July 1, 2026. There are no contract renewal options, as this is a one-time equipment purchase.

Respondents must submit all-inclusive pricing on an FOB Destination, Freight Prepaid basis with Net 45 payment terms. The estimated award amount is $550,000. No set-asides or participation requirements apply to this procurement because it is classified as a one-time purchase of goods rather than a service contract, and the MWBE Program was suspended as of June 3, 2025. No incumbent vendors or current contractors are identified. Respondents must have five years of continuous, verifiable experience providing similar goods and services, provide three client references from similar projects within the past five years, be registered with the State of Florida, and maintain specified insurance coverage including Commercial General Liability of $1,000,000 per occurrence for standard operations or $5,000,000 per occurrence for Airport Operations Area access. The awarded supplier must provide a minimum two-year warranty and guarantee spare parts availability for ten years post-delivery.
