Notification of Intent to Sole Source

Announcement of intent to sole source for the use of the Flight Research Facility (Hangar) at NASA’s Glenn Research Center (GRC) in Cleveland Ohio.

NASA announces its intent to execute an Enhanced Use Lease (EUL) for the under-utilized facility, located adjacent to Cleveland airport on the Glenn Research Center.

NASA has received strong interest from a Department of Defense contractor to occupy the currently under-utilized facility to support Department of Defense’s mission.

Responses received by November 29, 2026, will be used to assess additional market interest and determine whether, to whom, and under what terms the facility may be out-granted to ensure best value to the Government. NASA will proceed in a manner that supports agency missions, U.S. national space policy, national priorities and maximizes public benefit.

If no other responses are received, and pending successful due diligence and negotiations, NASA may enter into a real estate instrument and related cooperation agreements with the proposed tenant for the use of the identified land.
