In All Competitive Procurement Initiatives DENVER – Dec. 6, 2021 – At Denver International Airport (DEN), one of the four guiding principles of Vision 100 – DEN’s strategic plan to get to 100 million passengers in 10 years – is Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion (EDI). As an international hub, it’s critical that we don’t just talk about our commitment to EDI, but that it’s a consistent part of our operation. DEN is announcing that it has established a “best value” in competitive procurements built on a foundation of honest and ethical decision making with a sincere focus on improving opportunities that promote economic equity by engaging a more diverse and inclusive community of vendors and contractors. Some of the equity enhancements to the procurement process include:
“This example of our commitment to EDI demonstrates that together we can collaborate and innovate to make meaningful impact not just at DEN, but in our community,” said DEN CEO Phil Washington. “These new practices will enrich our process to identify the best partners to award contracts to, so that across all our efforts and at every level we are integrating values of equity, diversity, inclusivity, accessibility and sustainability into our business.” These are just some of the ways DEN’s procurement process is embracing stronger focus on advancing equity through means such as a more comprehensive examination of race and ethnicity, gender identity, individuals living with disabilities, age, and LGBTQIA+ communities in its practices. Doing so will not only help fortify the growth and sustainability of small businesses, but it enriches DEN’s business with unique, balanced and equitable perspectives and approaches to project completion. With full representation across contracts, DEN demonstrates that as an international airport serving millions of passengers annually, the airport represents the diverse communities it serves. __________________________________________________________________________________________ Denver International Airport is the third-busiest airport in the United States and one of the top ten busiest airports in the world. DEN is the primary economic engine for the state of Colorado, generating more than $33 billion for the region annually.

Fairbanks International Airport Baggage Transport Conveyor Enhanced With Mod Drive™ System
Airports face a host of unique industry challenges, such as meeting efficiency regulations and seeking out the best maintenance practices to reduce costs and keep operations flowing. In today’s current economic climate, any potential cost savings can go a long way.
In 2019, Alaska’s Fairbanks International Airport (FAI) sought to modernize its equipment and operations. They were dissatisfied with the performance of the gearmotors on their baggage transport conveyors and began searching for new suppliers. Regal approached FAI with a solution that could improve equipment performance and simplify maintenance, with the added benefit of energy cost savings: the Hub City® MOD Drive™ system.
