Request for Proposal (RFP) No. 1239741
Port Houston Ship-to-Shore Cranes
The Port of Houston Authority of Harris County, Texas (“Port Houston”) is the steward, advocate, and a strategic leader for the Houston Ship Channel, a 52-mile complex comprising more than 200 public and private facilities that together contribute nearly US$1T annually to the US economy. Port Houston ranks as the fifth-largest US container port.
Port Houston’s growth story continues. As the nation’s fastest-growing major container port, we must continue to invest in our maritime infrastructure to keep pace with demand.
To support these efforts and as part of our long-term infrastructure development strategy, we are issuing a Request for Proposals (RFP) for the procurement, delivery, installation, and commissioning of ten ship-to-shore cranes for Port Houston’s container terminals.
This is by far our largest crane purchase to date. For this strategically important procurement, we are committed to finding the right manufacturers with which to partner.
Proposals must be submitted in accordance with the requirements outlined in the RFP.
Upcoming key dates:
• Pre-proposal conference: September 10, 2026
• Questions deadline: September 23, 2026
