Vendor Opportunities
Our vendor program
We welcome your interest in doing business at MSP. The airport’s concessions are mostly awarded through an RFP (Request for Proposal) process.
Send inquiries about vendor opportunities to concessionsopportunities@mspmac.org.
In your email please include a business plan, pictures, and other content that may help us better understand your business concept. You can also explore the links below for more info.
On the Current Proposals page, linked below, your click into proposals there will enable you to sign up for notifications of new RFPs and related opportunities.
Retail cart program
The Metropolitan Airports Commission also offers a cart program, which allows vendors to lease a cart, or a space to build your own kiosk, to better serve MSP’s diverse customer base.
The airport environment is different from that of a mall, as people are not necessarily here to shop; they are here to travel. However, our shops and restaurants provide our travelers and employees with some terrific and unique opportunities. The cart program is a key component of the airport’s retail offerings.
As part of the cart program, the MAC has developed an application process to make it easier and more affordable to operate a business at MSP. Click on the documents below to learn more.
If you are interested in operating a cart or kiosk at MSP, please fill out the Cart Leasing Application and submit it to Naquandra.Peterson@mspmac.org. We will notify you when a cart becomes available.
Helping Small Businesses
As a condition of financial assistance that the Metropolitan Airports Commission (MAC) receives from federal sources, the MAC has established a Disadvantaged Business Enterprise (DBE) program for construction and airport concessions in accordance with regulations of the U.S. Department of Transportation.
