Vendors may optionally pursue Local Small Business Enterprise (LSBE) or Minority Business Enterprise (MBE) designations, though these certifications are not mandatory for bid submission.

Vendors seeking MBE designation must provide a copy of their Minority Business Certificate for validation. These optional designations support the City of Savannah's Savannah First Initiative, which maintains a registry of eligible Savannah-based small businesses for local procurement opportunities. No incumbent vendors or current contractors are identified in the solicitation documents. The RFQ does not specify a budget range or award value; pricing is to be competitively quoted by responding vendors based on the equipment specifications and delivery requirements outlined. The Savannah Airport Commission is exempt from State Sales Tax, and all contracts may be cancelled by SAC with 30 days written notice in case of vendor default.
