Leasing Opportunities The National Park Service (NPS) provides for leasing of historic as well as non-historic properties in park areas. A lease authorizes activity not permitted by a concessions contract or commercial use authorization. All leases must provide for fair market value rent as determined by an appraisal. Leasing revenue can be used to fund: historic preservation projects; capital improvements of the historic properties; and maintenance backlog. Leasing/concession management/CUA management are part of the NPS Commercial Services Program. When the award of a lease is based on selection criteria in addition to, or other than the amount of the rent, the NPS Director must solicit proposals for the lease through a public Request for Proposals (RFP). The NPS cannot accept unsolicited proposals. Check this page for the latest information on properties that will be available for leaseLearn more about the National Park Service leasing program.
More information on the Request for Proposal process can be found at Request for Proposals - Leasing (U.S. National Park Service)
