How to bid on Exploration Park land leases for NASA

What NASA is offering

NASA is seeking proposals to lease vacant, undeveloped land adjacent to Space Commerce Way in Exploration Park at Kennedy Space Center. Parcel 3 is about 40 acres, and Parcel 4 is about 130 acres. The land can be leased together, separately, or in part.

The parcels are offered as-is and where-is, with no express or implied warranties. The proposed lease has a 20-year base term and two five-year options. During the question-and-answer period, proposers may ask NASA to consider alternate terms if the proposed term does not fit their business model.

Dates and deadline

The proposal period runs from September 4 through November 6, 2026. Proposals are due November 6, 2026, at 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time. The comment period ended September 25, 2026.

Submit by the stated deadline. The opportunity information says Q&A responses were uploaded as of October 20, 2026.

Who this opportunity may suit

This opportunity may suit businesses seeking land at Kennedy Space Center for activities that can use one or both parcels. The description says each parcel can accommodate multiple users performing concurrent, discrete activities.

Parcel 3 access would stem from Space Commerce Way; access to Parcel 4 could stem from State Road 3. Consider which parcel, or portion of a parcel, fits your intended use and access needs.
