Disadvantage business enterprise program support

Salt Lake City Department of Airports (SLCDA) is requesting Statements of Interest from consultants to provide support for the City's Disadvantaged Business Enterprise, Airport Concessions DBE, and Small Business Enterprise programs at Salt Lake City International Airport, with responses due June 12, 2026 by 2:00 p.m. Mountain Time through the Utah Public Procurement Place Portal.

The scope spans seven primary service areas: outreach and engagement, certification and application support, compliance and program support, capacity building and business development, strategic program support, data reporting and technology, and additional services as needed. Respondents must demonstrate relevant experience with federal regulations 49 CFR Parts 26 and 23, business development and outreach capabilities, and certification and compliance support expertise. Although consultants may be located outside Utah, they must assign an account manager capable of responding to SLCDA inquiries within 24 hours and willing to travel for meetings and in-person training sessions.

Statements of Interest are limited to five pages and must include contact information, organizational overview detailing resources and personnel capabilities, relevant experience, and a fee schedule overview for various program support services. Submission is through the U3P portal.

This RFI is an initial qualification phase; SLCDA plans to issue a formal solicitation to selected firms based on Statements of Interest received. The RFI does not commit the City to any contract award and is intended to identify qualified vendors for potential future engagement. Additional information and requirements will be communicated in writing through the U3P portal.
