DABICO SYSTEMS - DP

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

Miami-Dade County Board of County Commissioners is considering awarding 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 for the Miami-Dade Aviation Department. The initial five-year term has a value of $12,252,414, with a one, five-year option to renew bringing the total estimated cumulative value to $26,122,966. The purchase is necessary because Dabico is the Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) and sole provider for maintenance, repair, and parts for the proprietary Dabico systems installed at Miami International Airport (MIA). Competition is not practicable due to the proprietary nature of the systems. The Aviation and Seaport Committee forwarded the item to the Board of County Commissioners with a favorable recommendation. The contract aims to ensure critical equipment is maintained to factory standards and remains operational 24/7, reducing costs and environmental impact by allowing aircraft to shut down onboard Auxiliary Power Units while parked.
