About this opportunity
The Department of the Air Force Materiel Command Installation and Mission Support Center has published a Special Notice announcing its intent to lease approximately 1.8 acres of property at Eglin Air Force Base in Florida to the Okaloosa County Board of County Commissioners. This is a lease outgrant opportunity for a 30-year term, with the lessee required to pay fair market value rent. The notice was posted on March 3, 2026, with a response deadline of March 13, 2026. The lease is not set-aside for any particular business classification. The underlying lease template and location imagery have been provided as reference documents for prospective lessees evaluating the opportunity.
The primary objective is to enable the county to construct and operate a public beach park on Eglin AFB property, with planned improvements including bathrooms, bike racks, parking, signage, and portable lifeguard towers. The lessee must comply with the lease template terms, which require annual base rent payable in advance, comprehensive property liability insurance with minimum limits of $5 million per occurrence and $10 million aggregate, and full responsibility for all utilities, maintenance, repairs, and environmental compliance. The Okaloosa County Board of County Commissioners, as a local municipal government entity, is the pre-approved prospective lessee; the notice serves primarily as a formal announcement of intent under 10 U.S.C. 2667(h)(1)(a) rather than an open competitive solicitation. The lease will include provisions for Government access rights, environmental indemnification by the lessee, and default remedies including lease termination for non-payment or sustained non-compliance.
