Commercial Paper Liquidity Provider

The City of Dallas is seeking qualified financial institutions to serve as a Commercial Paper Liquidity Provider for its General Obligation capital improvement program, the Love Field Expansion Airport Program, and the newly planned Stormwater Drainage Management capital improvement program. Current commercial paper programs for the GO and Love Field Airport Modernization Corporation are set to expire in the fall of 2026, prompting the need for a new liquidity facility to ensure uninterrupted short-term financing for these critical infrastructure initiatives. The services required include establishing and managing a commercial paper program with reliable access to liquidity, supporting debt service obligations, and aligning financial operations with multi-year fiscal forecasts extending through FY 2030–31. The solicitation, issued under number BEZ25-00030089 and posted on April 30, 2026, with a submission deadline of May 22, 2026, is open to institutions capable of providing financial stability and operational reliability within the Texas jurisdiction, with all performance activities centered in Dallas. While the contract does not specify a total value, it relies on the provider’s ability to meet program funding needs based on the city’s projected revenue streams and debt capacity metrics. No formal evaluation factors, award criteria, or contract clauses from the Federal Acquisition Regulation were disclosed, and there is no indication of set-aside status, socioeconomic preferences, or detailed submission requirements, suggesting the selection will be based on institutional capability and financial soundness rather than a structured scoring system. The point of contact for inquiries is Grace Ekoh of the City of Dallas.
