Falconry Services

The contract for Falconry Services at DFW International Airport is a five-year agreement aimed at controlling and abating roosting and nesting bird populations across airport property using nighttime falconry and other targeted methods. Work is performed on an as-needed basis, subject to directives from the Airport’s Project Manager and contingent upon annual funding approval by the Airport Board and the Cities of Dallas and Fort Worth for each fiscal year, with automatic termination if funding is not secured and a 60-day notice provided. Performance locations are not fixed and are determined by the Airport, with all work required to meet the highest quality standards and comply with federal, state, and local regulations, as well as the Airport’s Code of Business Ethics. The contract does not specify payment amounts or pricing structure, but invoices must be submitted via email or mail to the designated accounts payable office, including contract and purchase order numbers, and are subject to review and approval by the Vice President of Procurement and Materials Management or their designee. The solicitation, numbered PA2242, is issued under Texas Local Government Code Title 8, Subtitle A, Chapter 252, and features unique state-mandated certifications rather than standard federal acquisition clauses. Offerors are required to affirm compliance with Texas laws prohibiting boycotts of Israel and energy companies, and prohibiting discrimination against entities involved in the lawful manufacture or sale of firearms. These certifications are material to bid responsiveness and are incorporated into the contract. The contractor must maintain a qualified representative on-site at all times, cannot use subcontractors without Airport recognition, and is prohibited from leveraging the Airport’s tax-exempt status for motor vehicle purchases. The Airport retains full authority for inspection and acceptance, which occurs at the delivery or performance location, and may reject non-conforming work even after initial acceptance. Funding dependency, force majeure, and suspension provisions are included, but no formal evaluation criteria, award methodology, or contract type such as FFP or IDIQ are specified. No UEI, CAGE, or socioeconomic certifications are required, and no technical attachments, packaging standards, or detailed specification documents are listed in the provided materials.
