Market Area:

The market area that serves the Northwest Arkansas Regional Airport in concession contracts or those seeking concession contracts are in the state of Arkansas.

Step 1. Analysis: Development of Goal:

The actual relative availability of ACDBE companies is based on companies certified by the Little Rock National Airport in coordination with the Arkansas State Highway and Transportation Department. All firms are based on Census Bureau Data, and proximity to the market area. The base figure was determined by dividing the total ACDBE firms by the total of all firms.

NAICS Code Type of Work Total ACDBE’s All Firms
518111 WiFi Internet Service 0 33
54185 Advertising 1 15
4542 Luggage Carts 0 60
722210 Food & Beverage 1 2165
453220 Retail (Specialty) 1 239
4853 Taxi & Limousine Service 0 19
4542 Massage Chairs 0 60
4542 ATM Services 0 60
Total 3 2651



Step 2. Adjustment

Due to the limited number of certified ACDBE’s and the lack of past participation, the airport determined an adjustment was needed for the base figure in order to arrive at the overall goal. The chart below provides past participation.

Past Participation Goal Percent Achieved
2008 8.21% 0%
2007 8.21% 0%
2006 8.21% 0%

Median ACBDE Participation 0%

Median ACDBE past participation + step one ACBDE availability.

Step two calculation 0 +.11% divided by 2 = .055%

This figure was weighted to reflect the potential for possible new concession opportunities at the airport over the next three year period.

The Northwest Arkansas Regional Airport proposes an overall goal of 0.5% for concessions for Fiscal Year 2009-2012.

UTILIZATION OF RACE NEUTRAL AND RACE CONSCIOUS METHODS

A. Race-Neutral Methods

Based on the analysis for the 2009-2012, the airport will meet the maximum feasible portion of its overall goal by using race-neutral means. The Northwest Arkansas Regional Airport has determined based on current market conditions and future concession opportunities to maintain 0.5 % participation through race-neutral measures.

B. Race-Conscious Methods

The Northwest Arkansas Regional Airport estimates that it will obtain 0.5%, and 0.00% through race-conscious measures. If there is change in the market conditions or if the airport projects that race-neutral measures, standing alone, are no longer sufficient to meet the overall goal; race-conscious measures will be implemented to accomplish the remaining goal balance.

INTERIM REPORTING

If a new concession opportunity with estimated gross receipts of $200,000 or greater arises during the submitted goal period, the airport will submit an appropriate adjustment to the FAA for approval at least six months in advance before executing the concession agreement. The airport will review the goals on an annual basis to ensure no adjustments need to be made to the overall goal.
