Request for Proposals: Airport Lactation Station

The Patrick Leahy Burlington International Airport is seeking proposals to upgrade its lactation facilities through the deployment of new freestanding, ADA-compatible lactation pods and smart technology enhancements for existing rooms, funded by a recent Federal Aviation Administration grant under the Airport Terminal Program. The airport currently operates three private lactation stations and one lactation bench, and this initiative aims to expand and improve accessibility, reliability, and privacy for nursing passengers by reducing overcrowding and disruptions caused by unavailable or locked rooms. The project allows for both replacement of outdated stations and addition of new units, ensuring that lactation spaces are predictable, well-maintained, and compliant with accessibility standards to support safe and efficient passenger flow. Proposals must be submitted by July 10, 2026, with the solicitation issued on July 2, 2026 under number 73926. The procurement is managed by the Vermont Department of Economic Development and is open to qualified vendors responding directly to the request. All work must be performed at the airport in Burlington, Vermont, and inquiries should be directed to the primary point of contact, Jennifer Bartley, via email or phone. The initiative underscores the airport’s commitment to inclusive amenities and operational safety by prioritizing passenger comfort and minimizing facility-related delays.
