INTENT TO SOLE SOURCE 3 ACRES OF LAND AT KENNEDY SPACE CENTER

Announcement of intent to sole source for the use of approximately 3 acres of under-utilized land at the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Kennedy Space Center (KSC).  

NASA announces its intent to execute an Enhanced Use Lease (EUL) for the under-utilized acreage, located adjacent to the Turn Basin at the Kennedy Space Center. 

NASA has received strong interest from a long-standing commercial partner and tenant to occupy the currently under-utilized land to support NASA’s mission by advancing the commercial space economy. The proposed EUL is a reasonable expansion to a current tenant to support barge storage and maintenance which facilities delivery of out-sized cargo. 

Responses received by May 29, 2026, will be used to assess additional market interest and determine whether, to whom, and under what terms the facility may be out-granted to ensure best value to the Government. NASA will proceed in a manner that supports agency missions, U.S. national space policy, and maximizes public benefit. 

If no other responses are received, and pending successful due diligence and negotiations, NASA may enter into a real estate instrument and related cooperation agreements with the proposed tenant for the use of the identified land.
