AIRBALL SPORTS - AWARD

Aviation and Seaport Committee · 2026-07-13 · resolution

This legislative item concerns a resolution to waive competitive bidding procedures and award a non-competitive revenue-generating contract, Contract No. BW-10479, for a Miami Heat-licensed merchandise retail concession at Miami International Airport (MIA). The contract is proposed for Airball Sports II, LLC, with projected revenues of $17,000,000.00 over an eight-year term with one two-year option to renew. The Aviation and Seaport Committee has deferred this item twice, most recently to no date certain at the request of Commissioner Cohen-Higgins. The proposed contract aims to replace an existing month-to-month lease and is recommended due to Airball Sports II, LLC holding exclusive rights to operate a Miami Heat franchise retail store at MIA. Public comment is not detailed in this document, but the deferral suggests ongoing discussion or review.
