DABICO SYSTEMS - DP

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

Miami-Dade Aviation Department (MDAD) is seeking to award Contract No. SS-10569 for Dabico PCA and 400Hz Systems, Parts and Replacement to Dabico Airport Solutions, Inc. The contract is for a non-competitive designated purchase due to the proprietary nature of the Dabico systems. The initial five-year term has a value of $12,252,414, with a one, five-year option to renew, bringing the estimated cumulative value to $26,122,966. This contract replaces a previous sole source contract. The purpose is to ensure the continuous operation and maintenance of pre-conditioned air (PCA) and 400Hz ground power systems at Miami International Airport (MIA), which are essential for aircraft parked at gates, reducing environmental impact and operational costs. Dabico is the Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) and the sole provider for maintenance and parts, as no other distributors or resellers are authorized. Market research indicated that alternative systems would require a complete overhaul costing approximately $42,764,044 plus startup costs. The Aviation and Seaport Committee forwarded this item to the Board of County Commissioners (BCC) with a favorable recommendation. No public comment or stakeholder sentiment is stated in the document.
