Los Angeles World Airports Modernization Program
Delivering high‑impact program management for LAWA’s next‑generation airport modernization
GEMS delivers high‑impact program management expertise that helps Los Angeles World Airports (LAWA) advance one of the nation’s most ambitious airport modernization programs.
Transforming One of the World’s Busiest Airport Systems
Los Angeles World Airports (LAWA) operates LAX and VNY—two of the most complex and high‑demand aviation facilities in the United States. LAWA is modernizing its entire airport system through a multi‑billion‑dollar Capital Improvement Program (CIP) that includes new terminals, airfield upgrades, mobility improvements, utilities, and operational readiness initiatives.
The MATOC Program: LAWA’s Engine for Efficient Delivery
To deliver its CIP with speed and technical excellence, LAWA established the Multiple Award Task Order Contract (MATOC) Program. This program gives LAWA rapid access to top-tier expertise across project management, construction management, project controls, quality, safety, and specialty technical services.
The MATOC Program supports up to $950 million in task‑order capacity and enables LAWA to keep critical projects moving—especially as the region prepares for major global events like the 2028 Olympic and Paralympic Games.
A Diverse, High‑Performing Team of Firms
LAWA’s MATOC Program includes:
- 15 prime consulting firms
- 200+ subconsultants, including DBE, SBE, LBE, MBE, WBE, and micro‑small businesses
This structure reflects LAWA’s commitment to inclusivity, economic opportunity, and community impact.
