Registered vendors are encouraged to participate in the DFW bid process through the following methods:

Bidders should respond to all bid requests. A "No Bid" should be submitted with an explanation as to why the Bidder has elected not to bid.

Prebid conferences are held whenever it is deemed beneficial to either the Bidders and/or the Airport Board.

On requirements for any item(s) with an estimated cost in excess of $25,000, appropriate bid notices will be published in newspapers in both the cities of Dallas and Fort Worth, Texas. These advertisements will be published for two consecutive weeks, typically on Sundays, in the "classified legal notice" sections of said newspapers. In addition, the bid notices will be listed on DFW Airport Board’s "Bid Hotline" at 972 574 8024 (follow the prompts and select the Bid Hotline number), or view them on-line by clicking on Solicitation Schedules.

Formal sealed bids are publicly opened and read aloud on the date, time, and place stated in the bid notice. Bid openings are public and you or any representative of your firm may attend, whether your firm is engaged in bidding or not.

Late sealed bids cannot be accepted nor considered if they arrive later than the time and date shown on the Invitation to Bid. Any such late bid will be returned to the Bidder unopened with an explanation.

The Airport Board will request bid deposits/bid bonds on some projects. Bid deposits/bid bonds, when required, will be so requested in the bid solicitation. Bid bonds normally represent five percent of the total amount of the bid. In lieu of a bid bond, Bidders may submit a five percent bid deposit in the form of a Cashier’s Check drawn on a Dallas or Tarrant County bank. Most bids issued by DFW Airport do not require deposits or bonds.

Bidders are directed to the terms of the General Conditions to ascertain whether a bid performance, fidelity, payment, or other bond(s) must be provided by the successful bidder. If the Contractor is required to carry certain types and amounts of insurance during the term of the Contract, this information will also be included.

It is necessary that the successful Bidder provide any required bonds and certificate(s) of insurance before the Contract’s "Notice To Proceed" can be issued.

Invoices should show complete description, quantities, unit prices, and extensions. Make certain that the proper Airport Board Purchase Order/Contract number clearly appears on each invoice. Invoices without proper information may be returned. Invoices should be mailed to the address as specified in the Contract or Purchase Order.

DFW Airport maintains a vendor database. Your firm may be placed in this database upon completion of a Supplier Profile Form. Placement in the database does not release a Vendor of contacting the "Hotline" and/or Internet site or obtaining solicitation information from the local newspapers.
