As a City of Houston department, the Houston Airport System follows City of Houston purchasing practices, guidelines, and policies, as administered by the City of Houston Strategic Purchasing Division (see below).
Specifications for competitive bidding are made available through Bid Documents (awarded to low bidder) or requests For Proposal (RFPs) or Requests For Qualifications (RFQs).The type of specification used depends upon the type of commodity or service being procured.
Applicable specifications are advertised and posted on the City of Houston Strategic Purchasing Division web site.
Design and construction of projects are awarded through a competitive bid process. The Planning, Design, and Construction Division of the Houston Airport System coordinates the specification, advertisement, proposal/bid evaluation, and award of all projects.
Certain professional services are competitively procured through Notices, called Requests For Proposal (RFPs) or Requests For Qualifications (RFQs) issued directly by the Houston Airport System.
RFP/RFQ notices specify a scope of work and request that prospective vendors/providers provide a written statement of qualifications and related experience to perform the work. Cost estimates are generally not requested at this time. Instead, HAS evaluates proposers based upon their capabilities and experience to perform the work specified and selects the best qualified vendor to negotiate a contract with.
