Q-U69. Do FAA’s AIP or similar contract provisions apply to IIJA funded projects?
Yes. The IIJA grants are funded from the General Fund; therefore, the Airport Infrastructure Program and the Airport Terminal Program are both Federal Grant Programs. IIJA funded projects must comply with FAA’s Contract Provision Guidelines for Obligated Sponsors and Airport Improvement Program Projects. This includes Disadvantaged Business Enterprise, Davis-Bacon, Civil Rights, Equal Employment Opportunity (EEO), and Veteran’s Preference, among other required contract provisions.
