The National Park Service (NPS) has canceled a previously announced 15-year concessions contract opportunity in Shenandoah National Park. The contract solicitation to provide overnight guest lodging, food and beverage sales, retail and grocery operations, campground operations and camper services, fuel sales, and stable operations within the park opened on July 30, 2024, and closed on November 7, 2024. The NPS will revise and issue a new solicitation for these services. This is not expected to impact continuity of visitor services.
