Airport Procurement Policy

Every U.S. airport operates under a procurement policy that defines how purchases are authorized, competed, and documented. These policies establish dollar thresholds, delegated authority levels, competition requirements, board approval triggers, and emergency procurement provisions. They also reference applicable state and local procurement law.

TarmacSync is designed to use your airport's procurement policy as live decision context — not generic thresholds. When you import your policy, TarmacSync evaluates each purchase against your own rules before surfacing candidate paths.

What policies typically cover

• Small-purchase and micro-purchase thresholds.
• Formal bid and RFP requirements.
• Delegated purchasing authority by role and amount.
• Board or governing-body approval triggers.
• Cooperative purchasing authorization.
• Professional services selection (QBS for A/E).
• Sole-source and emergency procurement provisions.
• Contract review and legal-approval requirements.

Policy as context, not a checklist

TarmacSync does not replace your procurement policy or staff. It applies your thresholds and rules to surface the most likely path — then identifies what still needs review by procurement leadership, counsel, or your governing body.
