RFP to Lease the Ahearn House, Jedidiah Higgins House, and Sirna Studio in Cape Cod National Seashore
Solicitation # CACO_Ahearn-Higgins-Sirna_RFP_2026
The National Park Service is offering a unique opportunity to lease three historic properties within Cape Cod National Seashore for private residential use: the Sirna Studio in Wellfleet, the Ahearn House in Wellfleet, and the Jedidiah Higgins House in Truro. Each property is listed on the National Register of Historic Places and requires substantial rehabilitation to meet modern standards, with the NPS delivering them “as-is with all faults.” Proposals may include one, two, or all three properties, with preference given to those that encompass the full portfolio. The Sirna Studio, a 1961 Modernist artist’s studio, is designed for seasonal use and lacks adequate insulation for year-round occupancy, though proposals for year-round use are welcome if accompanied by necessary improvements. The Ahearn House, built between 1817 and 1851, includes a historic one-room cottage, while the Higgins House, a full-Cape style structure from the 19th century, features a modern art studio on-site. All proposed uses must align with NPS preservation values and may include private residence, residential rental, or short-term rental, but commercial activities generating profit are prohibited without a separate authorization. Any improvements must comply with the Secretary of the Interior’s Standards for Historic Preservation, and lessees are responsible for all associated compliance costs, including environmental reviews under NEPA and NHPA. The lease term is anticipated to be between ten and twenty years, with rent commencing at Fair Market Value Rent, adjusted annually by the Consumer Price Index. Rent for individual properties ranges from $9,960 to $25,440 annually, with discounts applied for multi-property leases. Lessees may offset lease payments with NPS-approved costs for initial improvements, subject to detailed documentation and approval. All utilities, maintenance, insurance, and waste disposal are the sole responsibility of the lessee, who must also ensure sustainable practices such as energy and water conservation, recycling, and proper hazardous waste handling. Proposals must be submitted electronically as a single PDF under 20 pages per property, accompanied by financial documentation, credit reports, resumes of key personnel, and a detailed scope of work including cost estimates, timelines, and conceptual designs. Evaluation prioritizes compatibility with park preservation goals, financial capability, demonstrated experience with historic properties, environmental stewardship, and the overall benefit to the NPS, including proposed rent levels and lease terms. The NPS retains full discretion to modify or terminate the solicitation, and selected offer

RFP No. DACA45-5-26-00264 ENHANCED USE LEASE (EUL) COMMERCIAL AN/OR INDUSTRIAL FACILITIES FORT LEE, VIRGINIA
Solicitation # DACA45-5-26-00264
The Department of the Army is seeking competitive proposals under RFP No. DACA45-5-26-00264 for a 50-year Enhanced Use Lease (EUL) of six non-excess land parcels at Fort Lee, Virginia, to develop commercial and/or industrial facilities through private investment. The selected offeror will be responsible for designing, financing, permitting, constructing, operating, maintaining, securing, and eventually decommissioning the Project, with all activities required to be self-sustaining without financial contribution from the government. In-kind consideration is mandatory, with the construction of an 82,151-square-foot aquatic center on Site 1 valued at an estimated $63 million being a non-negotiable requirement for award eligibility. Additional desired in-kind contributions include a multi-purpose facility, food pavilion, training pavilion on Site 1, and expansion of the Army Transportation Museum on Site 1, though these are not required. The lease term may be extended beyond 50 years if proposed by the offeror and approved by the Army, and the total consideration must meet or exceed the fair market value as determined by a Department of the Army appraisal. Offerors may propose development of all or any portion of the six sites and must clearly identify the specific parcels and acreage involved in their submission. Proposals must be submitted by September 4, 2026, as a single PDF file through the designated Smartsheet portal, adhering to strict formatting requirements including 12-point font, one-inch margins, and page limits per evaluation section, with any excess pages discarded. Evaluation will be based on five equally weighted, non-price factors: Project Description, Project Plan, Financial Capability, Organizational Structure and Experience, and EUL Consideration, with award decisions made based on best overall value rather than lowest price. The government retains broad discretion to modify, suspend, waive, or cancel the RFP at any time, and may negotiate further with selected offerors even if they do not submit the highest financial proposal. All offerors must be registered in SAM.gov, not be on any exclusion lists, and consent to credit and background checks on key personnel. Special requirements include compliance with federal, state, and local regulations, adherence to Department of Defense environmental procedures, integration with installation security and antiterrorism standards, and provision of financial guarantees such as corporate guarantees or letters of credit. The Army's ultimate goal is to maximize return on its underutilized land while ensuring the Project

Full Description

The purpose of this Request For Interest (RFI) is to seek information and formal statements of interest from public and private entities to partner with NASA for the development of land to support a self-contained multi-use, multi-tenant technology park located at the Michoud Assembly Facility (MAF) in New Orleans, LA.



MAF is located on 830 acres of U.S. Government-owned land. MAF is home to more than 24 Federal, State, Academic and Commercial tenants with a growing workforce of approximately 2,600 people.
The center is managed by NASA via the Marshall Space Flight Center (MSFC) under a Federal City model and serves as the Agency’s primary manufacturing hub for both Government and commercial customers.
MAF recently completed an assessment to determine the most readily developable land for a technology park targeting approximately 45 acres within the MAF campus. These 45 acres, named Discovery Park, is located on the northern edge of the campus to allow options for developable sites both inside and outside the security perimeter. NASA seeks interest from industry to develop the 45-acre Discovery Park in whole or in part. This interest should be from qualified firms in leading to long-term operation of Discovery Park, which NASA has established to enable and grow private sector participation in space exploration, support commercial space transportation, promote commercial development of technologies for application in space and on earth, and support the missions of tenants located at MAF.



Although the primary focus will be on the 45-acre Discovery Park, NASA will also consider interest in other areas on MAF for development.

Automated Universal Test System
Solicitation # 80MSFC26Q0008
NASA Marshall Space Flight Center requires an Automated Universal Test System designed for the mechanical testing of rigid plastic specimens within a shielded research facility. The system must support tensile, flexural, and compression testing with a minimum capacity of 100 kN while operating with minimal human interaction. Key functional requirements include automated specimen handling, dimensional and strain measurement, data acquisition, and specimen traceability, all within a compact footprint suitable for constrained laboratory space. Because the testing involves radioactive materials, the equipment will be installed in a hot cell environment to ensure safety and compatibility with remote-handling needs. NASA intends to issue a sole source contract to Instron, doing business as Illinois Tool Works, Inc., under the authority of FAR 6.103-1. This selection is based on the Instron AT3 Floor Model's unique ability to meet the specific combination of force requirements, automated test modes, and small physical footprint, as well as its compatibility with existing government equipment, software, and workflows. This acquisition is being conducted under FAR Part 12. Interested organizations may submit capabilities and qualifications to the designated points of contact by September 4, 2026, to assist the government in determining whether to proceed with a competitive acquisition.
