Concessions

Concession contracts are longer-term contracts offering visitor services that, with a few exceptions, take place solely within the park. Contact the Concessions Management Specialist at 207.288.8735 at any time if you have any questions or require more information.

Visit the National Park Service (NPS) Concessions website for more information about concessions across the NPS.

Concession Contracts

Concession contracts are one method of authorizing commercial visitor services. They have the following characteristics:

  • The term of concession contracts is generally 10 years or less.

  • Some concession contracts have a "preference in renewal."

  • Contracts are awarded under competition and are limited in number.

  • The concessioner pays a franchise fee to the government determined by the probable value to the concessioner for the privileges provided by the contract.
