The City of Santa Fe’s Airport operations are dedicated to ensuring the safe, efficient, and sustainable functioning of the Santa Fe Regional Airport through strategic infrastructure maintenance and professional engineering oversight. Core priorities include enhancing passenger experience, maintaining regulatory compliance, and supporting long-term facility expansion—all enabled by high-quality architectural and engineering services, as well as comprehensive landscaping and environmental management. Key initiatives focus on expanding parking and rental car facilities, improving seasonal operational resilience through snow removal and grounds maintenance, and integrating sustainable practices into airport infrastructure lifecycle management.
The agency procures primarily professional engineering services and landscape management solutions, reflecting its emphasis on capital improvement projects and ongoing operational upkeep. Contracts are typically awarded through competitive solicitations under standard federal procurement frameworks, with no set-asides currently utilized. Engineering services support design, planning, and construction oversight for facility expansions, while landscaping contracts ensure year-round grounds maintenance, including snow and debris removal critical to regional weather conditions.
The agency’s procurement activity centers on NAICS 541330 (Engineering Services) and 561730 (Landscaping Services), indicating a focused reliance on specialized technical and environmental contractors. There is no indication of preference for small business, HUBZone, or other socio-economic set-asides; awards are made based on technical merit, compliance, and service delivery capability. Vendor relationships are built on demonstrated expertise in aviation infrastructure, adherence to FAA standards, and proven performance in municipal airport environments.
As a municipal entity under the City of Santa Fe, New Mexico, the Airport operates as a self-sustaining department responsible for managing airfield operations, terminal facilities, and associated ground infrastructure. It utilizes standard public procurement vehicles including RFPs and competitive sealed bids, aligning with state and federal procurement best practices to ensure transparency and accountability in all acquisitions.
