Tender Details

The National Park Service (NPS) released on March 19, 2026, a business opportunity soliciting proposals to award a new ten (10) year concession contract to operate Guided Water Float Tours, Retail, and Snorkel Equipment Rentals within Channel Islands National Park.
Site Visit
The NPS will host a site visit for entities interested in bidding on the opportunity on April 2, 2026. The site visit provides interested entities with an overview of the concession operation and a tour of the Concession Facilities (land and real property improvements assigned to the concessioner under the Draft Contract).
Registration is required to attend the site visit. To register, email Mark Juretschke, Financial Analyst, National Park Service, Interior Regions 8, 9, 10, and 12, at [email protected], along with a courtesy copy to John Hansen, Concessions Management Specialist, Channel Islands National Park, at [email protected], no later than 12:00 pm (Pacific Time) on March 30, 2026. You must provide your name, contact information, the name of the entity interested in submitting a proposal that you represent, the primary contact for the entity, and the number and names of people in your party. Due to space constraints, the NPS limits the number of site visit attendees to a total of five (5) people per interested entity.
Site visit participants are responsible for obtaining their lodging, meals, and transportation to the Concession Facilities. Organizations should note the Concession Facilities are located on Santa Cruz Island and transportation can be obtained through Island Packers, which operates ferry service to and from the mainland.
