Notice of Intent To Award a SoleSource Concession Contract for
Yellowstone National Park
National Park Service, Interior.
Notice of proposed award of a
sole-source concession contract for
Yellowstone National Park.

AGENCY:
ACTION:

Public notice is hereby given
that the National Park Service proposes
to award a sole-source concession
contract for the conduct of certain
visitor services within Yellowstone
National Park. The visitor services
include food and beverage and retail.
DATES: The term of the sole-source
concession contract will commence (if
awarded) no earlier than sixty (60) days
from the publication of this notice, but
the National Park Service intends for the
term to begin March 1, 2022 (estimated)
and end December 31, 2023.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Kurt
Rausch, Program Chief, Commercial
Services Program, National Park
Service, 1849 C Street NW, Mail Stop
2410, Washington, DC 20240;
Telephone: 202–513–7156.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Pursuant
to 36 CFR 51.25, the Director of the
National Park Service (Service) may
award a concession contract noncompetitively upon a determination that
extraordinary circumstances exist under
which compelling and equitable
considerations require the award of the
concession contract to a particular
qualified person in the public interest
and that such an award is otherwise
consistent with the requirements of part
51. Contracts that are awarded noncompetitively under this authority are
commonly referred to as ‘‘sole-source’’
contracts. The Service has determined
that the proposed award of a sole-source
contract to DNC Parks and Resorts at
Yellowstone, LLC is necessary based on
the following information.
The extraordinary circumstances in
this instance include delays caused by
the COVID–19 pandemic and the
required updates to the YELL002
prospectus as a result of the pandemic’s
socio-economic impacts, as such
impacts affected the assumptions
developed for the prospectus to such an
extent that the Service could not release
the prospectus in July 2020 as originally
planned. Additionally, the Service has
exhausted the time allowed for
temporary contracts authorized under

36 CFR 51.24, and does not have
sufficient time to update the
assumptions and requirements for a new
prospectus, solicit and evaluate
proposals, provide the 60-day notice to
Congress, and competitively award a
new contract before the expiration of the
temporary contract on February 28,
2022.
The Service has determined that DNC
Parks and Resorts at Yellowstone, LLC
is a ‘‘qualified person’’ as defined by 36
CFR 51.3, and has determined that
compelling and equitable considerations
exist as only DNC Parks and Resorts at
Yellowstone, LLC, having provided the
visitor services since 2002 and having
already made the investments necessary
to provide the operations, is positioned
to provide the visitor services without
having potentially severe consequences
to visitors to the Park.
The Service has determined that a
sole-source concession contract is in the
public interest because it is the
authorization most likely to avoid
interruption of visitor services and
provide for the continued maintenance
of government-owned facilities.
This is not a request for proposals.
The publication of this notice reflects
the intent of the Service but does not
bind the Service to award the solesource contract. Should the Service
award the sole-source contract, the NPS
will ensure such award is otherwise
consistent with the requirements of part
51.

Associate Director, Business Services.
