GREENVILLE - SPARTANBURG (GSP) ATCT REPLACEMENT

The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) is conducting a market survey (697DCK-26-R-00015) for the replacement of the Air Traffic Control Tower (ATCT) at Greenville-Spartanburg (GSP) International Airport. This initiative aims to gather statements of interest and capabilities from potential vendors and solicit industry feedback. The FAA plans a Design-Bid-Build construction contract, estimated between $10M and $40M, with an anticipated start date in late Spring to early Summer 2026. The contract type is expected to be Firm-Fixed Price, with the primary NAICS code 236220 (Commercial and Institutional Building Construction, $45M size standard). Interested vendors must submit a capability statement, limited to 10 pages, addressing their experience with similar ATCT or high-rise commercial building construction, prime contractor experience, SAM information, perceived risks/opportunities, and input on the Statement of Work and solicitation. The FAA also seeks feedback on the impact of project labor agreements (PLAs) on pricing and timelines. Submissions are due by September 17, 2025, at 1300 p.m. ET. This market survey is for informational purposes only and does not guarantee a contract.

The Statement of Work outlines the requirements for constructing a new Airport Traffic Control Tower (ATCT) and Terminal Radar Approach Control (TRACON) facility at Greenville-Spartanburg International Airport in Greer, South Carolina. This project, estimated to take 732 calendar days from a May 2026 award, involves a 187-foot ATCT with a 12-level structure and a 17,868 square foot TRACON/Base Building, both designed to IBC Risk Category IV. The facility will house administrative offices, equipment rooms, and critical power distribution systems, including government-furnished materials like generators and UPS units. Site improvements include grading, utilities, security fencing, and a new redundant Fiber Optic Transmission System (FOTS) communication loop. A new Radio Receiver site is also planned. The contractor is responsible for all labor, materials, permits (excluding the building permit), and adhering to strict site access, material delivery, and work sequence guidelines, ensuring coordination with airport operations and safety protocols.
