Description
The City of San Antonio’s Aviation Department sought a vendor to design, establish, operate, and manage a Consolidated Receiving and Distribution Commissary (CRDC) at San Antonio International Airport. The CRDC would serve all airport tenants—concessionaires, lounges, airline catering units, and other authorized users—by centralizing receipt, inspection, warehousing, and distribution of food, beverages, consumables, and non‑food supplies. The goal was to improve logistical efficiency, enhance security, reduce costs, and deliver consistent service across the airport environment. The solicitation was issued on 30 Jan 2026, included an optional pre‑bid conference on 9 Feb 2026, allowed questions through 12 Feb 2026, and originally set a deadline of 3 Apr 2026 (extended from 17 Mar 2026). The RFP was later cancelled on 16 Mar 2026.
• Centralized warehousing, inventory control, and outbound distribution for airport tenants.
• Required compliance with airport security, customs, and safety regulations.
• Expected to handle high‑volume, time‑critical food and supply logistics in a secure environment.
• Vendor needed capability in large‑scale logistics, warehousing, and freight handling, preferably with prior airport or high‑security experience.
• Cancellation means no award will be made for this solicitation.
