SUMMARY OF LEASING OPPORTUNITY This Request for Proposals (RFP) provides the opportunity for any interested individual or organization, hereinafter referred to as “Offeror” to submit proposals to the National Park Service (NPS, ‘Lessor’) to lease NPS property at Cape Cod National Seashore for private, residential use and occupancy, under the following general terms and conditions.

The selected offeror (‘Offeror’, ‘you’, ‘your’) will have exclusive negotiation rights to enter into a lease based on the attached Sample Lease (See Attachment A).

Elements of your proposal may be incorporated into the Lease at Lessor’s discretion.

Overview of Property Offered for Lease Three historic properties located within the Cape Cod National Seashore are available for lease to the public.

Each property will require significant initial improvement.

The Offeror may present a proposal that includes one, two, or all three properties.

Preference may be given to responsive proposals that include all three properties.

The Anthony and Allison Sirna Studio (Sirna Studio), located at 60 Way #4 in Wellfleet, Massachusetts, is an approximately 746 sq. ft. artist’s studio situated on a one-acre lot.

Designed in the mid-twentieth century “Modern Style” and constructed in 1961, it was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 2014.

The Ahearn House, located at 450 Pamet Point Road, in Wellfleet, Massachusetts, is an approximately 1,200 sq. ft. one-and-a-half story timber-framed ¾ Cape house situated on 3.1 acres.

The site also includes a detached seasonal one room cottage of approximately 234 sq. ft., compatible with the architectural design and setting of the main house.

The main house was constructed between 1817-1851, while the summer cottage is believed to have been a previously existing workshop.

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.
