Need more help?

Procurement Agents are available to assist you with any questions you may have. To ensure fairness in the procurement process, communication with LCPA staff during active solicitations is prohibited. Vendors must direct all inquiries to the Procurement Office. This restriction remains in effect until a contract is finalized or the solicitation is canceled.

Procurement Resources

To maintain integrity and place trust in the procurement process, LCPA places lobbying restrictions on potential vendors and persons acting on behalf of a vendor. During active solicitations, communications with any member of LCPA, Airports Special Management Committee, Board of Port Commissioners, or any representatives of LCPA is prohibited. Inquiries must be made only to the Procurement Office. This important anti-lobbying provision is in effect from the time a solicitation is released and does not expire until a contract is fully executed or until the solicitation is canceled. See the LCPA Procurement Manual for more information.
