Procurement Department

The Procurement Department is responsible for the acquisition of all goods and services in support of the operations of Tampa International Airport and its three general aviation airports. We operate our procurement processes in accordance with the Authority procurement policies and procedures, the Florida Sunshine Law and a Cone of Silence to ensure fairness, competition and best value. 

Capital Development

Tampa International Airport has a robust capital development program that for the period 2019-2023 includes close to $85 million in spending on routine maintenance, rehabilitation and upgrades. The Authority recently completed the first phase of its Master Plan, which included a consolidated rental car center connected to an expanded Main Terminal by an automated people mover, as well as major improvements to all of our concessions spaces. We are now in the midst of a $544 million Phase 2 expansion as part of our 2012 Master Plan Update.

Ideally located on Florida’s West Coast, Tampa International Airport provides access to eight counties, 4.2 million people and the nation’s 19th largest GDP. 

Air cargo service at TPA is provided on both a scheduled and non-scheduled basis by passenger airlines and all-cargo airlines.

Tips for Homeowners

Federal Aviation Administration (FAA)

It is important for the public to know that the authority to control aircraft in flight and on the ground is vested exclusively in the FAA. The FAA, however, cannot control the number of flights or the time of day of aircraft operations. Federal law preempts any local government agency from implementing any action that is intended to control the routes of aircraft in flight. Therefore, local elected officials and airport management cannot control the routes of aircraft in flight or on the ground.

Noise Glossary and Acronyms

dB - The decibel (dB) is the unit used to measure the magnitude or intensity of sound. It uses a mathematical scale to cover the large range of sound pressures that can be heard by the human ear. A 10-dB increase will be perceived by most people to be a doubling of loudness. For example, 80 dB typically seems twice as loud as 70 dB.
