Industry Day for Baggage and Check-In Solutions for Orlando International Airport

The Greater Orlando Aviation Authority (GOAA) is conducting an Industry Day for Baggage and Check-In Solutions at Orlando International Airport (MCO) on November 4, 2024, from 9:00 a.m. to 11:00 a.m. in the Carl T. Lanford Board Room. The procurement seeks innovative technological solutions to revolutionize passenger travel, with a specific focus on developing remote check-in capabilities at hotels, convention centers, cruise ports, and other off-site locations. Key objectives include streamlining passenger flow, reducing airport congestion, and enhancing the overall travel experience through advanced baggage handling and check-in technologies. Potential vendors are expected to present solutions that enable travelers to check in for flights, receive boarding passes, and check luggage from remote locations, with a particular emphasis on improving convenience for cruise travelers. The project release date is set for October 18, 2024, with interested parties required to RSVP by October 31, 2024, by emailing solutions4mco@goaa.org. Participants must submit attendee names and contact information, and the event is designed as a non-binding industry day that does not guarantee a formal solicitation or contract award.

The Industry Day does not specify explicit set-aside designations or restrictions on responding organizations, welcoming a broad range of solution providers including tech innovators, baggage handling experts, airlines, and technology companies. While no specific incumbent vendors are mentioned, the procurement suggests a desire to update existing baggage systems with state-of-the-art technology, indicating potential integration requirements with current airport infrastructure. The event will provide opportunities for networking with MCO decision-makers and showcasing technological solutions addressing operational challenges such as terminal and roadway congestion, baggage handling inefficiencies, facility challenges, and long security checkpoint lines. No specific award value or budget range is disclosed in the available documentation. Ideal respondents will have demonstrated experience in remote check-in technologies, logistics, airline technologies, and innovative approaches to enhancing customer travel experiences and reducing airport congestion.
