Virtual Ramp TowerThe Port of Seattle’s Aviation Project Management Group is forecasting the development of a virtual ramp tower for Seattle-Tacoma International Airport to enhance operational safety and efficiency. This initiative will create a digital replacement for the physical ramp tower, ensuring full visibility over aircraft movements and ground operations while seamlessly integrating with existing ramp tower software systems. The project is critical to modernizing airport infrastructure and maintaining uninterrupted, high-quality airside management capabilities. The work will require advanced technological solutions that replicate, and potentially improve upon, real-time situational awareness traditionally provided by an on-site tower. Interested parties should note that the North American Industry Classification System code for this effort is 488111, indicating it falls under airport operations support services. The primary point of contact for inquiries is Angela Peterson, reachable via phone or email, with Katie Techa serving as the Project Manager for technical coordination. Although the solicitation number is not yet assigned and the public posting date is listed as July 14, 2026, the formal procurement process will follow this forecast. The place of performance is tied to Seattle-Tacoma International Airport and the contract is expected to involve significant software integration and aviation-specific system deployment. Stakeholders should monitor the official portal linked in the data for the upcoming solicitation release.

Market survey to determine whether adequate competition exists to conduct an unrestricted competition for continued system integration and sustainment of the Standard Terminal Automation Replacement System(STARS) beyond the contract’s end date of 9/30/203The U.S. Department of Transportation, through its 693KA7 Enroute & Terminal Contracts office, is conducting a market survey to assess whether sufficient competition exists to support an unrestricted, full and open competition for the continued system integration and sustainment of the Standard Terminal Automation Replacement System beyond its current contract end date of September 30, 2030. This effort, identified by solicitation number STARS-2026, aims to gather industry input on the availability of qualified vendors capable of providing the necessary technical capabilities to ensure seamless operation and future enhancement of STARS, a critical air traffic control system. The survey is not a request for proposals but rather a fact-finding initiative to inform the government’s acquisition strategy. The solicitation was posted on June 18, 2026, with responses due by July 17, 2026, and is classified as a sources-sought notice with no set-aside designation, meaning it is open to all eligible businesses regardless of size or status. The North American Industry Classification System code 488111 applies, reflecting air traffic control and related support activities. The point of contact for inquiries is Peter Dewald of the FAA, reachable via phone or email, and the place of performance is in Washington, D.C., with all correspondence handled through the federal procurement system. No specific contract award is anticipated from this survey, but the findings will directly influence the structure and requirements of any future procurement efforts for STARS sustainment.

Air Traffic Control Tower (ATCT) ReplacementThe Hillsborough County Aviation Authority is seeking a qualified Design-Builder to replace the aging Air Traffic Control Tower (ATCT) at Tampa International Airport with a new blast-resistant facility located at Site 18C, an adjusted position approximately 40 feet west of the originally approved Site 18A, currently under FAA review. The project, funded through the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act, has a total budget of $150 million, covering design, permitting, construction, testing, and commissioning of the tower and associated base building, but explicitly excludes the FAA’s electronic and operational equipment, which the FAA will independently procure and install. The structure must conform to FAA Air Traffic Organization Terminal Facility Design Standards, be mission-focused rather than architecturally distinctive, and comply with all applicable federal and state regulations including ADA, FAA Advisory Circulars, TSA Security Directives, and Florida Department of Transportation standards. Construction is expected to align with the broader airport modernization effort, aiming for completion and crane removal by March 1, 2029, in advance of Airside D’s May 2029 opening. The solicitation operates under a cost-of-work basis with a not-to-exceed limit and requires submission of a Guaranteed Maximum Price after the design phase. The contractor must adhere to stringent procurement regulations including Buy American Act provisions for construction materials and steel, Davis-Bacon prevailing wage requirements, E-Verify employment verification, and compliance with anti-human trafficking and non-discrimination statutes. The Design-Builder must meet DBE participation goals and provide detailed documentation including team structure, key personnel resumes, project references, and DBE letters of intent. Quality control is mandatory, with the A/E firm held solely responsible for the accuracy and coordination of all design elements, subject to FAA oversight and potential independent constructability reviews. All invoices for basic services must include specific, non-vague descriptions, and reimbursable expenses require supporting documentation submitted in Excel format via a prescribed tracking form. Contract administration includes public records exposure, audit rights, and a term extending through construction warranty periods and claim resolutions. Proposals must be submitted electronically through the Authority’s procurement portal by July 29, 2026, and evaluated based on organizational structure, key personnel qualifications, cost control methodology, and prior project volume with the Authority, using a comparative scoring approach.
