Procurement Policies and Regulations

The Alaska Aerospace Development Corporation (AADC) purchases most non-aerospace related equipment and services using competitive solicitations. Non-construction related requirements over $50,000 and construction related requirements over $100,000 are advertised in the Anchorage and Kodiak newspapers and on our web site. Vendor selection is made based on the advertised selection criteria. For common items or services that are under the thresholds listed above, we typically go to Alaskan vendors first and then to outside vendors if the equipment or service is not available locally or at a reasonable price.

Aerospace related equipment and services are generally procured through competitive solicitations, but can be obtained through negotiations with sole sources. The technical specialization and limited availability of equipment and services sometimes necessitates sole source procurement.

Sole source, limited competition and emergency procurements are authorized for equipment and services at all dollar amounts. They must be approved in writing by the President and COO.

The Alaska Bidder Preference does not apply to procurements made with federal funds, but procurements made with state funds are afforded this preference. AADC does not maintain a preferred bidders list, so you must review our web site and read the classified sections of the newspapers to stay updated on our current competitive solicitations.
