Network Access Control (NAC) - Part 1

. Ford International Airport Authority (GFIAA) is requesting Statements of Qualifications for the supply of hardware, software, and support services to upgrade the Authority’s existing Network Access Control system, which will be expected to have a minimum life expectancy of at least 5 years. To obtain the highest quality project delivery within the required schedule and budget allocations, GFIAA seeks a NAC partner through a 2‐part public Qualifications‐Based Selection process which includes an initial qualifications evaluation followed by interviews and fee negotiation with the selected firm. This 2‐part selection process articulates the GFIAA’s goals and provides openness and consistency so that all qualified firms receive fair consideration. The Gerald R. Ford International Airport is the second busiest airport in Michigan, serving business and leisure travelers with nonstop and connecting flights on six airlines. The Ford Airport is managed and operated by the Gerald R. Ford
