Massachusetts Port Authority

Massachusetts Port Authority, doing business as Massport, is a U.S. state government port and airport authority based in Boston, Massachusetts that acts as a prime recipient of federal grants and occupies seats on General Services Administration Basic Ordering Agreements (BOAs) for real estate leasing and facility operations. Massport competes predominantly full-and-open, with no SBA set-aside designations; its federal footprint reflects its role as a public infrastructure operator rather than a commercial contractor.

Massport's concrete capability portfolio centers on airport and maritime facility management, runway and taxiway infrastructure rehabilitation, terminal building modernization, and port security enhancements. The vendor is primarily a federal grant recipient, not a contractor. On the grant side, Massport receives project and formula grants from the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) under the Airport Improvement Program (CFDA 20.106) and related infrastructure programs for runway safety area construction, taxiway and runway pavement rehabilitation, taxiway lighting system upgrades, terminal building reconstruction, and noise mitigation for residential units surrounding Boston Logan International Airport and regional facilities at Worcester and Bedford, Massachusetts. Representative examples include a $74.9 million FAA project grant (August 2025, CFDA 20.106) to construct a pier supporting an engineered material arresting system (EMAS) for Runway 9/27 at Boston Logan; a $62.5 million FAA grant (February 2023, CFDA 20.106) to rehabilitate Terminal E at Boston Logan; and a $28.1 million FAA grant (August 2023, CFDA 20.106) to rehabilitate Terminal E with baggage handling, sidewalk, and gate bridge improvements. Massport also received a $1.25 million project grant from the Department of Transportation Maritime Administration (CFDA 20.823) in October 2024 for planning and 30%-design advancement of the North Jetty Berth revitalization and South Boston Marine Multiport. On the security side, Massport is a recipient of Federal Emergency Management Agency Port Security Grant Program funding (CFDA 97.056) — a $245 thousand award in September 2024 and a $2.34 million award in September 2022 — to enhance maritime security infrastructure at Port of Boston facilities.

On the contracting side, Massport sits on GSA BOAs for real estate leasing and facilities support services, through which federal agencies issue task orders for space utilization and building operations. The vendor holds positions on five active BOA vehicles: GSA BOA GS01B04520 (40 task orders, $215.7 million combined potential value), GSA BOA GS01B04268 (68 task orders, $523 thousand combined potential value), GSA BOA GS01B04017 (38 task orders, $174 thousand combined potential value), GSA BOA GS01B04698 (23 task orders, $1.9 million combined potential value), and GSA BOA GS01B04604 (15 task orders, $293 thousand combined potential value). These vehicles reflect Massport's core federal work: leasing of nonresidential building space and parking facilities, typically through GSA's Public Buildings Service Central Office, which accounts for 39 awards and $106.8 million in combined potential value.

Customer concentration is dominated by transportation and security agencies. The Department of Homeland Security Transportation Security Administration is the largest single customer by potential value (29 awards, $182.9 million combined), reflecting TSA's operational footprint at Boston Logan and other Massport-managed airports. The GSA Public Buildings Service Central Office accounts for 39 awards and $106.8 million, driven by the BOA structure. The FAA New England Region and broader FAA organization account for 80 and 66 awards respectively, totaling $17.9 million in combined potential value; however, the FAA's grant pipeline carries substantially higher dollar values when individual large awards are summed. The top three customers by potential value (TSA, GSA PBS, and FAA) represent roughly 70% of combined potential value across the portfolio.

Recent activity shows a modulation from higher levels in 2023–2024 (14 and 15 awards per year respectively) to 11 awards in 2025 and 4 awards in the first half of 2026, reflecting the episodic nature of FAA infrastructure grant releases and the mature, stable footprint of GSA BOA task orders. Only four awards face ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, indicating minimal near-term recompete exposure. The combined obligated dollars across all awards ($1.41 billion) exceed the combined potential value ($442.2 million) by 319%, reflecting multi-year grant funding streams and legacy contract obligations already drawdown and invoiced. Massport operates as a prime on 99% of awards and holds three sub-grant positions under the Massachusetts Emergency Management Agency for pandemic-response funding and active-shooter training. Primary work locations include Boston Logan International Airport (East Boston, Massachusetts), Bedford Municipal Airport, Worcester Regional Airport, and the Port of Boston, with administrative oversight at Massport's headquarters in Boston.
