D.0 NATIONAL PARK SERVICE

The National Park Service (NPS) is a bureau of the U.S. Department of the Interior (DOI) that has been entrusted with the care of our national parks since 1916. The National Park System currently has 433 units

(often referred to as parks), covering more than 85 million acres in all 50 states, the District of Columbia, and US territories.

The NPS also has more than 150 related areas that are linked in importance and purpose to places managed directly by the National Park Service by preserving important segments of the nation's natural and cultural heritage. They are designated by acts of Congress or by the Secretary of the Interior (affiliated areas). The majority of related areas are not units of the National Park Service and are managed by other government agencies or non-government organizations and landowners. The National Park Service is involved in related areas by directly managing the entire or sections of a related area, or by providing technical or financial assistance.

The NPS preserves unimpaired natural and cultural resources, and values of the National Park System for the enjoyment, education, and inspiration of this and future generations. The NPS cooperates with partners to extend the benefits of natural and cultural resource conservation and outdoor recreation throughout this country and the world.

The NPS – Business Service Contracting Division (BSCD) – Contracting Operations – Strategic (ConOps-

Strategic) supports the acquisition needs of the entire NPS. The NPS – BSCD-ConOps-Strategic issues contracts through the Federal Acquisition Regulation’s (FAR) for utilities, wildland fire and incident management, services, construction, A&E for the entire NPS.

D.1 VALLEY FORGE NATIONAL HISTORICAL PARK (VAFO)

Valley Forge National Historical Park (VAFO) covers nearly 3,500 acres with meadows, woodlands, historic landscapes, and monuments commemorating the resolve of the Revolutionary War. Valley Forge is the place where George Washington and the Continental Army took refuge during the winter of 1777-1778.

Visitors to VAFO can take a tour of the encampment which is 10-mile driving loops that provided opportunities to stop and explore monument, statues, and locations of historical importance. One of the stops include the Muhlenberg’s Brigade which is the site of the encampment of the Virginia troops led by

Brigadier General Peter Muhlenberg and consists of nine reconstructed log solders huts and primary location of VAFO’s living history program. Another stop is Washington’s Headquarters, also known as the Isaac

Potts House, is the structure used by General George Washington and his household during the 1777-1778 encampment of the Continental Army at VAFO.

VAFO has over 35 miles of designated trails that allow visitors wonderful views of Mount Joy, Mount

Misery, next to Valley Creek and the Schuykill River and through the beautiful meadows of the Grand

Parade which take you through key historic and interpretive sites. For more information, please visits
