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 total estimated cumulative value to $26,122,966. This contract replaces a previous sole source contract (SS9863-1/26). The purpose is to ensure critical equipment for pre-conditioned air and 400Hz ground power systems at Miami International Airport (MIA) is maintained and operational. Dabico is the Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) and sole provider for these specific systems at MIA. Market research indicated that other brands exist but are proprietary to their respective OEMs, and replacing the Dabico system would cost approximately $42,764,044 plus startup costs. The item is currently 'In Committee' with an Agenda Date of 9/1/2026.
