The Center of Equity and Excellence in Aviation (CEEA) seeks to establish an On-Call Professional Services Contract to support the planning, development, implementation, and continuous improvement of workforce development, talent pipeline, leadership development, career pathways, and aviation industry engagement initiatives. This procurement will create a pool of qualified firms that can provide specialized expertise on an as-needed basis to advance CEEA's strategic objectives and support Denver International Airport's workforce development priorities. The driving need for this procurement is the increasing demand for workforce development programming and talent pipeline initiatives across DEN, the aviation industry, educational institutions, and community partners. CEEA continues to expand its role as a regional and national aviation workforce development hub, requiring access to specialized expertise that is not always available through existing staff resources. An on-call contract structure provides the flexibility to efficiently procure professional services as project needs arise while ensuring timely delivery of programs and initiatives. The proposed budget and fee structure were established based on anticipated programmatic needs over the contract term, historical expenditures for similar services, benchmarking of comparable professional services contracts, and projected growth in workforce development initiatives. The contract will establish a not-to-exceed capacity for multiple vendors, with individual task orders issued on an as-needed basis. Compensation will be based on negotiated rates and project-specific scopes of work, ensuring that services are procured competitively and aligned with available funding and operational priorities. This procurement will enable CEEA to efficiently access specialized expertise while maintaining flexibility, scalability, and fiscal responsibility in delivering workforce development and talent advancement initiatives that support DEN's Vision 100 goals and long-term workforce strategy. **Solicitation Type**: RFP - Request for Proposal (Formal) **Source ID**: PU.AG.USA.1640709.C16452101 **Piggyback Contract**: No **Question Acceptance Deadline**: 06/29/2026 04:00 PM EDT **Questions are submitted online**: Yes **Bid Submission Type**: Electronic Bid Submission **Owner Organization**: Denver International Airport **Solicitation Number**: 202684866 **Reference Number**: 0000427425 **Pricing**: In attached document **Bid Documents List**: | Question Name | Question Description | Mandatory | |---|---|---| | Legal Entity Name | Please provide your legal entity name that you are submitting a response under. | Yes | | Legal Entity Address | Please provide your legal entity address including zip code | Yes | | Legal Entity Phone Number | Please provide your legal entity phone number. | Yes | | ACDBE Certified | Are you Disadvantaged Business Enterprise (DBE) certified or Non-DBE? | Yes | | DBE Certified | Are you Airport Concessions Disadvantaged Business Enterprise (ACDBE) certified or Non-ACDBE? | Yes | | NAICS Code | Please provide the appropriate NAICS code applicable to each scope of work sought to perform. | Yes | | Age of Legal Entity | Please provide the year your legal entity was established | Yes | | Race of Legal Entity Manority Owner | Please provide the race of your legal entity majority owner, in accordance with 49 CFR Part 26. | Yes | | Gender of Legal Entity Majority Owner | Please provide the gender of your legal entity majority owner. | Yes | | Annual Gross Receipts | Please select your Annual Gross Receipts: | Yes | **Bid Documents List**: | Item Name | Description | Mandatory | Limited to 1 file | |---|---|---|---| | Proposal Forms | Acknowledgement Letter, Data Form, Legal Disclosure & all Attachments | Yes | No | | Sample Agreement | Sample Agreement | No | Yes | **Bid Documents List**: | Item Name | Description | Mandatory | Limited to 1 file | |---|---|---|---| | Proposal Narrative | Complete responses to the Content Narrative as outlined in Section IV, which includes the required DEN Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion Plan (DEN EDI Plan) | Yes | No | | Exhibit B | Financial Forms - Exhibit B Pricing Table Form to be submitted as a separate Excel File | Yes | No |
