INSTRUCTIONS TO BIDDERS

ELIGIBILITY TO BID ON AND AWARD LEASED PARCELS

Bids will be accepted from any United States citizen, corporation, partnership, or trust. The Government will evaluate bids in response to this solicitation without discussions. The Lease will be awarded to the responsible bidder whose bid, conforming to the solicitation, will be most advantageous to the

Government. The total bid shall consist of the initial lease term plus all option periods. The bid will be evaluated on the basis of whether or not it is made by a responsive and responsible bidder. The

Government may determine any bid non-responsive, where submitted by a person or entity, who is in breach or default of a material provision of an existing or prior lease at the time of evaluation of bids under this solicitation.

The Government may:

1. Reject any or all bids without a requirement for justification;

2. Accept other than the highest bid;

3. Not award the Lease

Interested bidders shall review all documents, provisions, clauses, and terms of the Invitation for Bid

(IFB) and of each proposed Lease on which interested bidders are bidding.

Inquiries and RFI shall be submitted via e-mail no later than December 8, 2025.
