Ontario International Airport - Capital Development has issued invitation for bid, solicitation 2026-IFB-086.

The Ontario International Airport is seeking a bidder to design, construct, permit, install, retrofit and replacement of the existing campus fire alarm systems at the Ontario International Airport located at 2900 E. Airport drive, Ontario California.

The Ontario International Airport Authority (OIAA) is a joint-powers authority (JPA) established by the City of Ontario and San Bernardino County, serving as a public agency in Southern California. Ontario International Airport (ONT) is a medium hub airport handling over 7 million passengers annually and serving as a key air cargo facility in the region. Spanning 1,741 acres in the City of Ontario, California, ONT is located about 35 miles east of downtown Los Angeles, in the heart of the Inland Empire. The airport offers nonstop commercial jet service to over two dozen major destinations in the U.S., Mexico, and Taiwan, with connecting flights to numerous domestic and international locations. It also serves as the West Coast air and truck hub for UPS Airlines and is a major distribution point for FedEx Express and Amazon Prime. ONT features two parallel runways, 8L/26R and 8R/26L, along with two passenger terminals and a dedicated international arrivals facility. Terminal 2 encompasses approximately 265,000 square feet and includes 12 gates (201–212), while Terminal 4 also spans 265,000 square feet with 14 gates (401–414). The International Arrivals Facility houses two arrival-only gates and a U.S. Customs and Border Protection Federal Inspection Service (FIS). International departures operate from the main terminals. With a history spanning over 100 years and terminal facilities exceeding 30 years in age, OIAA has recognized the need for redevelopment to accommodate current and future growth. To support increasing passenger and aircraft demand, OIAA is advancing a Capital Improvement Program (CIP), focusing on infrastructure modernization, safety enhancements, and operational efficiency. The program aims to ensure ONT remains a safe, compliant, and high-capacity airport for years to come.
