NASA Kennedy Space Center is asking for proposals from companies that want to lease vacant land in Exploration Park: about 40 acres (Parcel 3) and about 130 acres (Parcel 4), which can be leased whole or in part. This is a land lease where the bidder pays to use the land, not a contract to sell services to NASA. The proposed term is 20 years plus two 5-year options, and the land is offered as is.
Watch out for
- Land lease, not a service contract. This is a real estate lease where the proposer would develop and use the land; it needs a business plan and capital rather than services to the Government.
