    • Introduction / Project Summary
      1. Introduction.
        1. General. 

          The San Francisco International Airport ("Airport" or “SFO”) is operated by the City and County of San Francisco (the “City”) acting by and through its Airport Commission. This Request for Information (hereinafter “RFI”) is being issued by SFO. SFO is seeking information from potential suppliers about the capabilities, features, and benefits of innovative cleaning equipment, to assist SFO staff to maximize the level of cleanliness and safety for customers.

        2. Overview.

          This RFI is a request for information only; it does not constitute a competitive solicitation; it will not result in the award of any contract to a supplier. The City may use the information received in response to this RFI in formulating a detailed Request for Qualifications (“RFQ”) or Request for Proposals (“RFP”), which then could result in the award of contract(s). The City may ask for additional or clarifying information in response to information received in response to this RFI.  As part of this RFI process, SFO may request on-site demonstration(s). Respondents should direct all questions to the SFO Contact Person identified on page 1 and the SFO Contact Person is the only person that should be contacted regarding this RFI.

        The anticipated schedule for this RFI is set forth above. These dates are tentative and subject to change. It is the responsibility of the Respondent to check for any Addenda to this RFI or other published pertinent information.

    • Information Requested
      1. Background.

        SFO is one of the busiest airports in the United States, serving millions of passengers annually. To maintain the highest standards of cleanliness and hygiene, SFO is exploring the integration of advanced technologies, including innovative cleaning equipment. This equipment is expected to enhance the efficiency and effectiveness of SFO's custodial operations and help ensure a world-class environment for travelers and staff. SFO faces several challenges in maintaining cleanliness across its vast and busy facilities:

        1. High Foot Traffic. The Airport experiences high foot traffic, making it challenging to maintain cleanliness at all times in all places.
        2. Large and Diverse Areas. The extensive area of the Airport, including terminals, concourses, restrooms, and other public spaces, requires significant staff power and resources for cleaning on numerous levels and different types of surfaces.
        3. Operational Hours. The Airport operates 24/7, necessitating continuous cleaning operations with little to no disruption to passenger flow and airport activities.

          Due to these challenges, SFO is seeking innovative cleaning equipment options to assist SFO staff to maximize the level of cleanliness, comfort and safety for customers.

      2. Request for Information (RFI).
        SFO is seeking information from suppliers of innovative cleaning equipment. To provide details about the innovative cleaning equipment you offer, please complete the online form at the following URL:
