Charging as a Service Solution (CaaS)

The Dallas Fort Worth International Airport Board is issuing a Request for Information to gather market data for a Charging-as-a-Service (CaaS) solution. This initiative aims to manage and expand the airport's electric vehicle charging infrastructure for customers, employees, and fleet vehicles to support DFW's Net Zero Carbon 2030 goal. The proposed scope involves a private partner taking full responsibility for the installation, operation, and maintenance of Level-2 and DC fast chargers across more than 10 locations, including terminal garages, airport headquarters, and various maintenance and operations facilities. The solution is intended to be service-based, utilizing usage-based billing for fleets and app-based payments for individuals, without direct financial subsidies from the airport. This RFI is strictly for information gathering to inform a formal Request for Proposal anticipated in FY 2026; therefore, no contract award will be made based on this process. Interested firms must submit their responses electronically via the Bonfire e-solicitation portal by September 29, 2025, at 2:00 p.m. CT. Future evaluation criteria are expected to focus on CaaS experience, system reliability, integration capabilities, pricing models, and sustainability innovation. The primary point of contact for this effort is Rashmi Kulkarni, Senior Contract Administrator.
