NIGP 97112: Camping and Wilderness Facility Rental or Lease

NIGP 97112 Camping And Wilderness Facility Rental Or Lease, an Item code, encompasses the acquisition and operational management of camping, glamping, and outdoor recreation facilities by state and local governments. Recent solicitations show state and local buyers contracting for glamping concession services within existing campground infrastructure, as well as broader park and recreation area development and improvement projects that create or upgrade camping and wilderness spaces. The Sarasota County glamping concession at Turtle Beach Campground exemplifies direct facility rental or lease activity, while city-level park improvements in Utah—including trail systems, trailhead amenities, picnic areas, and related infrastructure—represent the capital development side of outdoor recreation facility provisioning. Issuing bodies include county parks authorities, city planning and parks departments, and regional recreation management entities. Utah cities dominate recent activity, with Herriman City, Salt Lake City, West Valley City, and South Salt Lake posting multiple facility development and operational services RFPs and IFBs between February and August 2026.

Geographic concentration in the Intermountain West, particularly Utah, reflects recent solicitation timing and scope. The Sarasota County glamping concession (posted May 2026, due June 2026) represents Florida activity. Representative opportunities include the City of Salt Lake City's community park signage and wayfinding improvements across thirteen parks—an IFB posted July 18, 2026, due August 5, 2026, with an engineer's estimate exceeding $250,000 but not exceeding $2 million; West Valley City's Centennial Park and Sports Complex East Hard Court Improvement Project RFP (posted July 8, 2026, due August 12, 2026), emphasizing design and specifications, pricing, local work history, warranty, and timeline; and Herriman City's Juniper Canyon Recreation Area Phase 3 construction IFB (posted May 4, 2026, due May 26, 2026), a comprehensive trailhead and multi-use trail system development requiring 5 percent bid security and substantial completion by April 2027. Performance bonds, payment bonds, and liquidated damages provisions appear standard across public park construction contracts in this code.
