2025 FIS Facility Upgrades

The Metropolitan Airports Commission (MAC) is seeking electronic bids for the 2025 FIS Facility Upgrades project at Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport, specifically focusing on hardening Foreign Inspection Service (FIS) processing areas at Terminals 1 and 2. The project involves installing low glass gates and partitions at the Primary processing area, and providing storefront, doors, and electronic security features at the Secondary processing area. Electronic bids will be received via QuestCDN until 2:00 PM on October 14, 2025, with a bid opening conference call scheduled for 3:00 PM the same day. Bidders are required to submit a bid security of at least 5% of the total bid in the form of a certified check or surety bond, and bids will remain valid for 70 days after opening. The Metropolitan Airports Commission reserves the right to reject any or all bids, and bid documents are available for download from QuestCDN for $22.00, with an additional $42.00 charge for electronic bid submission.

The procurement includes specific small business and diversity participation requirements, with mandatory affirmative action goals of 14% Small Business (SB) utilization, 32% minority participation, and 20% female participation in each trade. These goals indicate a strong commitment to supporting diverse and small business enterprises in the contract bidding process. The project is located in Hennepin County, Minnesota, and appears to be focused on enhancing security infrastructure at the airport's international terminals. While no specific budget range is mentioned in the provided documentation, the detailed security upgrade specifications suggest a significant capital investment. Potential bidders should carefully review the complete bid documents, paying close attention to the technical specifications, small business participation requirements, and electronic submission protocols to ensure compliance with all MAC procurement guidelines.
