Airline Technical Representative

Orlando International Airport (MCO), operating under the City of Orlando and Orange County, Florida, is soliciting qualifications for an Airline Technical Representative position with proposals due August 12, 2026. This is a specialized professional services role, not a traditional goods or construction procurement.

The ATR will serve as the primary liaison between airlines and MCO's Planning, Engineering & Construction and Operational Readiness and Transition teams throughout all phases of capital improvement projects. Core responsibilities include coordinating airline input and consensus across project phases; conducting technical review of design documents and requirements; monitoring schedules, budgets, and deliverables; integrating airline operational requirements into project planning and decision-making; and advocating for airline interests on major initiatives including APM Replacement, Baggage System Upgrades, and Terminal Optimization. The position demands expertise in project coordination, technical documentation review, multi-stakeholder management, and airport operational constraints.

The estimated contract value is approximately $7.5 million with a term exceeding 12 months. Work is performed at MCO within the Aircraft Operations Area, involving elevated structures up to three stories, proximity to railroad and automated people mover systems, and EPA-monitored materials handling.

Insurance requirements are substantial: Commercial General Liability of $5 million per occurrence (maximum $10,000 deductible or $100,000 self-insured retention); Automobile Liability of $5 million combined single limit; statutory Worker's Compensation; Employers' Liability of $500,000 to $1 million; Pollution Liability with maximum $100,000 deductible; and Professional Liability of $1 million per claim. All coverages must include Products & Completed Operations and Contractual Liability provisions.

The procurement follows MCO's standard qualification-based selection process with minimum requirements tied to relevant experience in airline operations, airport planning, or capital project coordination. Questions due date and pre-solicitation meeting details are not specified in available materials.
