Forsyth County NCCloses October 2, 2026

What Forsyth County is buying

Forsyth County is looking for qualified engineering firms to provide a range of services for projects at Smith Reynolds Airport. This includes planning, design, construction, and general consulting services.

The county intends to establish a 5-year master agreement. Under this agreement, fees for specific projects will be negotiated individually once the scope of each project is defined. This is an opportunity for engineering firms to secure a long-term relationship for airport-related work.

Key dates and what happens at the deadline

The solicitation was published on September 01, 2026. The deadline for responses is October 02, 2026, at 4:00 PM ET. All responses must be submitted by this time.

It is important to complete your submission well before the deadline to avoid any last-minute technical issues. Late submissions are typically not accepted.

Who this opportunity suits

This opportunity is suitable for established engineering firms with expertise in airport planning, design, construction, and general consulting. Firms with a strong background in professional services related to aviation infrastructure would be a good fit.

The master agreement structure means the county is looking for firms capable of handling various projects over an extended period, rather than a single, defined project.
