This updated notice changes the process: bids are accepted on a rolling basis and are due weekly on Fridays. Bids are emailed to the NPS.
Watch out for
- Rolling bids can end any time. Because bids are taken weekly until locations are leased, the opportunity may close early once the leases are filled.
Bids will be accepted on a rolling basis until all locations have been leased, or the Service discontinues this solicitation.
- No questions and no site visit. You cannot ask the NPS anything about the requirements, so you must rely on the RFB and draft lease alone.
The NPS will not be accepting questions or offering a site visit as part of this solicitation.
- Only up to two leases in a pilot. Very few awards are available and this is a pilot, so terms may change.
