About the company
Raleigh-Durham Airport Authority, a U.S. local government entity operating Raleigh-Durham International Airport, receives federal grants as a prime recipient from the Federal Aviation Administration and federal contracts from the Transportation Security Administration and General Services Administration, competing full-and-open with no set-aside designations.
The authority's federal footprint is dominated by FAA infrastructure and capital grants under the Airport Improvement Program (CFDA 20.106) and Airport Infrastructure Grants Program (CFDA 20.117), which fund runway relocations, taxilane and taxiway reconstruction, terminal expansion, zero-emission vehicle acquisition, and airfield equipment modernization. Recent representative awards include $47.3 million in AIP funding for Phase 3 of a runway shift project (awarded September 2024), $30.46 million for Phase 5 grading and drainage work (August 2025), $19.862 million under the Airport Infrastructure Grants program for runway shift work (July 2026), and $15 million for Terminal 2 expansion Phase 2 North Terminal construction (July 2025). The authority also received COVID-19 pandemic relief through AIP including $44.75 million for airport operations and debt service and $5.9 million for concession economic assistance (both February 2022). TSA awards are small purchase orders for cable television service at the airport ($5,158.20 recurring annually from 2022–2025). GSA Public Buildings Service Central Office places leasing and facility-related task orders under Basic Ordering Agreement GS04B43026, which anchors 96 task orders valued at $48.8 million combined potential value—substantially greater than the authority's prime FAA grants, reflecting the long-tail of real-estate and building-lease obligations.
Customer concentration spans six agencies. The FAA Southern Region leads by award count (32 awards), followed by TSA (22 awards, $19.3 million potential value) and GSA Public Buildings Service Central Office Office of Leasing (15 awards, $18.3 million potential value). Combined dollars obligated across all awards ($512.1 million) exceed combined potential value ($72.8 million) by 704 percent, indicating substantial prior-year grant reimbursement and multi-year project funding typical of airport capital infrastructure programs. The authority's award NAICS profile is heavily weighted toward Lessors of Nonresidential Buildings (97 awards) and Other Airport Operations (7 awards), reflecting its dual role as infrastructure grantee and facility lessor. Four sub-awards carry SIEM (security information and event management) implementation and SIEMaaS descriptions (December 2022 and 2023), indicating sub-grant activity in cybersecurity support roles. Activity has declined year over year (9 awards in 2022 to 5 in 2026), though the authority maintains continuous FAA grant funding for multi-phase runway and taxilane projects running through 2030.
