Overview of Property Offered for Lease The “David and Connie Armstrong” (Armstrong) dune shack located with the Peaked Hill Bars Historic District of the Cape Cod National Seashore is available for lease to the public.
The Peaked Hill Bars Historic District was determined to be eligible for the National Register of Historic Places in 1989 with formal listing in 2011.
The Armstrong dune shack, located in Truro, MA, is one of eighteen (18) dune shacks located within the Historic District and listed on the National Register.
It is the only Cape Cod National Seashore dune shack offered for lease at this time.
The dune shack structures promote a simpler way of life.
They lack many modern conveniences and amenities and have no municipal or commercial utilities.
Access by motorized vehicle requires an NPS-issued off-road-vehicle (ORV) permit for the inner dune route, and a qualified 4-wheel drive truck, SUV, or car with appropriately aired down tires.
Dune shacks are generally suitable to be used from Memorial Day to Labor Day.
Access to the shacks during the off-season is predominantly for the purpose of maintenance, particularly to prepare for or clean-up after severe weath...

How to bid on this
This is a contract solicitation, not a grant. To bid, you submit a proposal (usually a price and a description of how you would do the work) directly to the government, through the channel the official listing specifies, not through Oppward.
- Make sure your business has an active SAM.gov registration. You cannot be paid on a federal contract without one.
- Read the full solicitation on the official listing above, especially the scope of work, not just this summary. Our guide to reading a solicitation walks through what to look for.
- This listing has no set-aside restriction ("full and open competition"), meaning any business, large or small, can bid.
- Submit your proposal by the deadline, using the exact submission method the official listing states. A technically on-time bid sent the wrong way is often treated as late.
