About the company
Memphis-Shelby County Airport Authority, doing business as Memphis International Airport, operates as a U.S. local government entity and airport authority that receives federal grants as a prime recipient for airport infrastructure modernization and terminal rehabilitation projects, with no federal contracting footprint. The Authority is classified as a local government; it holds no 8(a) certification or other SBA set-aside designations and does not compete for federal contracts.
The Authority's federal grant work centers on the Federal Aviation Administration's Airport Improvement Program (CFDA 20.106), which funds capital infrastructure at Memphis International Airport in Memphis, Tennessee. Recent prime grant awards span terminal building rehabilitation, taxiway reconstruction and realignment, apron pavement reconstruction, taxiway lighting installation, snow removal equipment facility construction, deicing pad construction, and airfield signage replacement. Representative awards include a $24.4 million project grant (August 2026) for terminal and taxiway improvements; a $26.1 million formula grant (August 2025) for Taxiway A West reconstruction, airfield signage replacement, and terminal building upgrades; a $28 million project grant (August 2025) for Phase 6 terminal modernization addressing vertical circulation, ticketing areas, security checkpoint queues, mechanical and electrical system upgrades, and energy efficiency improvements; a $37.4 million project grant (September 2023) funding Taxiway A West reconstruction, taxiway lighting, apron reconstruction, and Phase 3 terminal curb-front roadway reconfiguration; and an $18.5 million project grant (August 2023) for Phase 4 terminal rehabilitation. Earlier grants include $47.4 million in American Rescue Plan Act economic relief (November 2021) to cover operations, personnel, cleaning, sanitization, and debt service during the COVID-19 pandemic, and a $1.99 million relief grant (December 2021) for airport concession rent and minimum annual guarantee support. All prime grants derive from the FAA Southern Region with ultimate completion dates extending through 2029–2030. The Authority also appears as a sub-recipient on apron rehabilitation work sub-awarded by the Tennessee Department of Transportation (March–June 2025). The Authority's portfolio shows 181 prime awards (97%) versus 6 sub-awards (3%) across 187 total federal awards since 1990, with combined potential value of $93.6 million and obligated dollars of $921.2 million. Six distinct customer agencies appear in the award history, though the FAA dominates the current active set with both project-specific and formula-grant funding. The Authority does not appear on any federal contracting vehicles or GSA Schedules; its federal relationship is exclusively grant-funded airport infrastructure development with the Department of Transportation Federal Aviation Administration.
