Interested parties must submit a notice of intent to propose by 4:00 p.m. Mountain Time on May 15, 2024, and questions about the prospectus are due by April 2, 2024. The NPS will only accept electronic proposals submitted through their Microsoft Teams platform, with a submission deadline of June 11, 2024. While specific evaluation criteria are not detailed in the notice, the solicitation indicates that existing concessioners have a preferred offeror status, which allows them to match the terms of the best proposal if their initial submission is not selected.
