Qualified firms must demonstrate professional expertise in commercial decoration services and possess the capability to execute work across multiple airport facilities. A mandatory pre-proposal meeting and site tour will be held on June 3, 2026, at 11:00 a.m. EST at Bradley International Airport's Terminal A, 3rd floor, limited to two representatives per firm; participants must submit a Temporary Badge Application Form by June 1, 2026, at 3:00 p.m. EST.

No incumbent vendors or current contractors are identified in the available documentation. The RFP specifies payment terms of Net 45 Days with Free On Board (FOB) Destination delivery, though no specific line items or quantities are designated given the as-needed nature of the services.
