What does Design and Construction - Procurement and Contracts Section do?

Accepted Answer

The Design and Construction - Procurement and Contracts Section, under the San Francisco Airport’s Construction Department, is tasked with delivering critical infrastructure upgrades and capital construction projects essential to the operational integrity and safety of one of the nation’s busiest aviation hubs. Its core mission centers on advancing airport capacity, modernizing airside and landside systems, and ensuring compliance with evolving security and accessibility standards. Strategic priorities include the design-build delivery of terminal and hangar renovations, expansion of power and communication infrastructure to support next-generation aviation systems, and the integration of professional engineering services to guide complex project execution. Key programs focus on midfield taxiway improvements, security infrastructure enhancements, and the replacement of critical revenue and access control systems.

The agency most frequently procures commercial and institutional building construction services, particularly for large-scale terminal and hangar modernizations, alongside power and communication line construction to support airfield electrical and data networks. Engineering services are engaged to provide design oversight and project delivery expertise. Contracts are typically structured as design-build or construction manager/general contractor (CM/GC) arrangements to accelerate timelines and align design with constructability requirements.

Primary procurement targets are NAICS 236220 for building construction and 237130 for utility and infrastructure systems, with 541330 engineering services serving as a supporting function.

Vendor relationships are built around firms with demonstrated experience in aviation infrastructure, design-build delivery, and FAA-compliant construction practices.

As a unit within the San Francisco Airport’s Construction Department, the agency operates exclusively within the San Francisco Bay Area, managing all procurement for capital construction initiatives.
