Notice of Intent to Sole Source - Kennedy Space Center Static Fire Test Stand

Description

Notification of Intent to Sole Source Announcement of intent to sole source for the use of approximately 55 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 south of Schwartz Road on 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 operational testing of second stage and payload engine capabilities. Responses received by November 20, 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.
