For the first time ever, Golden Gate National Recreation Area (GGNRA) is opening opportunities for local food truck operators to bring fresh flavors to the region’s most iconic coastal destinations.

Vendors with the winning bids will receive exclusive use of a designated, prime parking space at either Rodeo Beach or Baker Beach for one year, subject to the terms and conditions of the lease agreement.

Precise locations and parking space sizes can be found in the materials linked below.

Submitting Your Bid

If you’re ready to showcase your culinary creativity for visitors at some of the Bay Area’s most iconic coastal destinations, submit your bid today!

To submit, please read through the entire Request for Bids document, Draft Lease, and accompanying Exhibits to ensure you meet all requirements. All necessary information and instructions can be found linked on this page.

Interested parties should respond to the Request for Bids for the food truck location they are most interested in. If an interested individual or entity is interested in both locations, they will need to submit a response to each Request for Bid separately.

The National Park Service will not be accepting questions or offering a site visit as a part of this process.

NPS will continue to accept bids on a rolling basis until all locations have been leased, or the NPS discontinues this solicitation.

Bids are due weekly, on Fridays by 12:00 p.m. Pacific Time via email to PWR_Commercial_Services@nps.gov. Successful bidders should anticipate leases will start within 4-6 weeks of bid submission.
