NASA Kennedy Space Center announced its intent to sole source an Enhanced Use Lease for approximately 3 acres of under-utilized land adjacent to the Turn Basin, with responses due by May 29, 2026. NASA has identified a long-standing commercial partner and current tenant as the proposed lessee to support barge storage and maintenance operations that facilitate out-sized cargo delivery and advance the commercial space economy. The agency is soliciting responses from interested parties through the May 29 deadline to assess additional market interest and determine whether to proceed with the sole-source approach or consider alternative arrangements. NASA will evaluate all responses based on alignment with agency missions, U.S. national space policy, and maximization of public benefit. If no competing responses are received and due diligence and negotiations succeed, NASA may execute the lease and related cooperation agreements with the proposed tenant. Responses should be submitted to the Kennedy Space Center contracting office.
