Request for Information- DFW Airport Avian Roost Abatement Service

The Dallas Fort Worth International Airport Board has issued a Request for Information (RFI) under solicitation PMM-11102026 to gather data on avian roost abatement services. The primary goal is to identify effective methodologies to reduce bird strikes and increase aircraft safety, specifically within the Central Terminal Areas and Parking Lots. The scope of work includes pre-operations monitoring for nesting activity, the removal of inactive nests, active roost mitigation, and success monitoring. The airport is interested in various dispersal methods such as falconry, drones, and audio or visual tools, though the permanent installation of wildlife deterrents is strictly prohibited. All proposed services must align with FAA Part 139 Certificated Airports requirements and the airport's FAA-approved Wildlife Hazard Management Plan. This process is for information-gathering purposes only and will not result in a direct contract award or a formal evaluation for award. However, the responses may inform a future Request for Proposal (RFP). Interested companies must submit their responses via the Bonfire e-solicitation portal by November 23, 2026, at 2:00 p.m. Central Time. Submissions should include a company overview, technical competencies, innovative bird control methodologies, preliminary recommendations with effectiveness examples, and non-binding cost information, including typical cost ranges and cost drivers. Rashmi Kulkarni serves as the primary point of contact and contract administrator for this solicitation.
