The Division of Aviation is responsible for the operational integrity and infrastructure development of Cincinnati’s aviation facilities, with a primary focus on airport surface construction and runway modernization. Its core mission centers on maintaining safe, efficient, and compliant air transportation infrastructure through strategic capital improvements and decommissioning of aging aviation assets. Strategic priorities include the redevelopment of lease areas to support future airfield expansion and the systematic retirement of obsolete runways to align with current safety standards and operational demands. Key programs emphasize long-term asset lifecycle management, regulatory compliance with FAA guidelines, and coordination with regional transportation networks to ensure seamless airfield functionality.
Procurement activity is dominated by civil construction services related to airport surface work, including roadways, taxiways, and runway decommissioning. The agency consistently issues solicitations for heavy civil construction under NAICS 237310, indicating a reliance on specialized contractors capable of executing complex aviation-grade earthwork, pavement removal, and grading operations. Contract structures typically follow standard competitive bidding processes without set-asides, reflecting a focus on technical capability and safety certification over socioeconomic preferences.
The agency’s procurement profile is narrowly focused on Highway, Street, and Bridge Construction (NAICS 237310), with no evidence of set-aside preferences or diversity initiatives in recent solicitations. Vendor relationships are built around firms with proven experience in airport infrastructure, including familiarity with FAA Part 139 requirements, airside construction protocols, and hazardous material abatement during runway decommissioning.
As a division within the City of Cincinnati, the Division of Aviation operates independently to manage Lunken Airport and associated infrastructure. It functions as a municipal aviation authority with direct oversight of airfield assets, utilizing traditional procurement vehicles such as sealed bid solicitations and request for proposals for capital projects. Its geographic scope is confined to Cincinnati’s airfield boundaries, with no indication of regional or state-level collaboration in procurement data.
