AI Field Assistants And Real-Time Emergency Platforms

Dallas-Fort Worth International Airport is soliciting proposals for an AI-driven software platform to support Fire and EMS personnel during emergency medical responses. This mobile-first solution aims to integrate multiple EMS tools into a single system to enhance clinical decision-making and reduce cognitive workload. Key functional requirements include conversational AI interaction, protocol guidance, hospital navigation, medication dosing calculations, and post-incident training tools. The contract is for a five-year term and will be awarded based on best value procedures in accordance with Texas Local Government Code Section 252.043. Bids must be submitted via the Bonfire Portal by 2:00 pm Central Time on November 20, 2026. Evaluation criteria focus on compliance with the scope of work, management capabilities, the bidder's ability to meet specifications, and the provision of required insurance. The contractor must adhere to strict data security standards, including secure data transmission and compliance with GDPR, ISO 27002, or NIST SP 800-53. Additionally, the contract requires compliance with the Texas Prompt Payment Act, which mandates payment within 30 days of a valid invoice, and requires the submission of Form 1295 regarding interested parties. The procurement emphasizes Small Business Enterprise (SBE) participation, requiring certification through approved agencies like the North Central Texas Regional Certification Agency. Bidders must provide a detailed implementation plan, a quality control methodology, and a comprehensive schedule of subcontractors. The Airport reserves the right to award the contract to a single or multiple bidders and may award by unit, section, or as a whole. Performance is subject to routine inspections by the Airports Authority, and the contract automatically terminates at the end of a fiscal year if funding is not approved by the Airport and the Cities of Dallas and Fort Worth.
