Metropolitan Airports Commission

Metropolitan Airports Commission, a U.S. state government entity and airport authority headquartered in Minneapolis, Minnesota, operates as a federal grant recipient and prime contractor delivering airport infrastructure development, operations support, and facility management services to the Transportation Security Administration, the Federal Aviation Administration, and other federal agencies — primarily under full-and-open competition with no set-aside designations.

Metropolitan Airports Commission serves as the owner and operator of Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport and six regional general aviation facilities in Minnesota. The vendor's federal footprint is dominated by FAA grant recipients work, which accounts for the vast majority of awards by count and represents the core mission: the FAA's Great Lakes Region has issued 94 awards across the Airport Improvement Program, COVID-19 Airports Programs, and Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act Programs (CFDA 20.106). Representative grant projects include a $66.6 million project grant awarded January 2025 for Terminal 1 expansion (4,955 square feet, including Customs and Border Protection space) at Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport; a $25 million project grant awarded July 2024 for Terminal 2 expansion (144,591 square feet with two new gates H15 and H16); a $15.39 million project grant awarded September 2025 for deicing pad, taxiway, and apron reconstruction in Phases 2 and 3; and a $12.74 million project grant for runway, taxiway, and lighting reconstruction and safety area improvements. Additional grant recipients work spans pavement, taxiway, apron, and runway reconstruction; terminal component rehabilitation (pre-conditioned air units, air handling units, electrical substations, roof repairs); aircraft rescue and firefighting facilities; signage and lighting installation and reconstruction; and access road and perimeter fencing improvements across Minneapolis, St. Paul, Blaine, Lakeville, and Lake Elmo airports. Metropolitan Airports Commission is also recipient of a $4 million cooperative agreement from the Air National Guard under the National Guard Military Operations and Maintenance Projects program (CFDA 12.401) for facility sustainment, restoration, and modernization of Army National Guard and Air National Guard facilities in Minnesota. On the contract side, the Transportation Security Administration has issued 28 awards (combined potential value $107 million), including a $20.7 million Other Transaction Agreement in September 2021 for facility modification to recapitalize the in-line checked baggage inspection system in Terminal 1 West, and a firm fixed-price purchase order for fiber optic lease services at Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport commenced April 2022 and exercising option year four through March 2027. The vendor also holds a General Services Administration Basic Ordering Agreement (GS05B18573) under which GSA Public Buildings Service Central Office has placed 9 task orders (combined potential value $20 million) for facility leasing and parking services. Metropolitan Airports Commission received three sub-awards from the Minnesota Department of Public Safety under disaster relief grants (DR4531) in 2022 and 2023, representing 2% of recent awards. The vendor's activity has tracked 9–18 awards per year over the past five years, with combined potential value across all 182 awards of $131.3 million; obligated dollars total $866.6 million, suggesting substantial contract modifications and option exercises. Only 2 awards face recompete within the next twenty-four months. The vendor competes full-and-open across all customer agencies with no recurring set-aside designations.
