Notice of Intent to Award a Single Source Procurement for various Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) Repair Parts for Baggage Handling System and Passenger Boarding Bridges

Brief Description: OEM Repair Parts for Baggage Handling System and Passenger Boarding Bridges

Estimated Value: $2,473,000.00

Term (Years): 1 Year

Suppliers: Daifuku Airport America Corporation, ITW GSE Inc, Nerak Systems Inc, Oshkosh AeroTech LLC, Semler Industries Inc, Vanderlande Industries Inc, ThyssenKrupp Airport Systems Inc, Transnorm Systems Inc and Twist Aero LLC

Justification: The Aviation Authority is contractually obligated to stock and provide original equipment manufacturer (OEM) replacement and repair parts to its maintenance contractor. These components are critical for supporting the continuous operation, maintenance, and repair of the Aviation Authority's Baggage Handling Systems (BHS) and Passenger Boarding Bridges (PBB).

As specified by the original equipment manufacturers, these proprietary parts are designed exclusively for BHS and PBB systems. Utilizing non-OEM components risks compromising system performance, which can lead to operational disruptions and costly airport downtime. Consequently, maintaining a dedicated inventory of approved OEM parts is necessary to ensure system reliability and satisfy contractual obligations. Integrating third-party alternative parts will negatively alter system performance.  Substandard compatibility escalates the risk of sudden mechanical or software failures, leading to immediate airport downtime.
