The National Park Service (NPS) issued a Prospectus soliciting proposals for the award of four 10-year Concession Contracts to operate interpretive boat tours with guided snorkeling at Buck Island Reef National Monument. The Prospectus explains the business opportunities and the terms and conditions under which the NPS will award the Concession Contracts. The Director, pursuant to 36 CFR, Part 51, has determined that all four of the current concessioners qualify for a right of preference for the award of the Draft Contract.
