This Enhanced Use Lease outlines the terms between NASA and a tenant for a 0.7-acre parcel at the George C. Marshall Space Flight Center, supporting cellular services. The initial term is 10 years, with options for two 10-year extensions, subject to NASA approval and rent adjustments. The tenant is responsible for property maintenance, improvements, and adherence to strict environmental, safety, and cultural resource regulations, including managing hazardous waste, air emissions, and stormwater. All tenant activities must comply with federal, state, and local laws, and NASA retains approval rights over uses, improvements, and access. The lease emphasizes the tenant's independent environmental compliance and financial responsibility for all related costs, including any fines incurred due to their actions.
This Reimbursable Space Act Umbrella Agreement between NASA George C. Marshall Space Flight Center and a Tenant outlines the terms for providing reimbursable support services, specifically for the lease of a parcel supporting cellular services. The agreement establishes a framework for future Annex Agreements, which will detail specific projects, responsibilities, schedules, and financial obligations. The Partner agrees to reimburse NASA in advance, with payment options including FEDWIRE, pay.gov, or check. Key provisions include NASA's priority of use for its resources, non-exclusivity of the agreement, and a mutual waiver of claims for liability, with specific exceptions. Intellectual property rights are defined, covering data rights, invention, and patent rights, with restrictions on the use and disclosure of proprietary data. The agreement also addresses the use of NASA's name and emblems, public information release, disclaimers of warranty and endorsement, compliance with various laws and regulations (including export control and Section 889 of the NDAA), and a five-year term from the effective date, subject to earlier termination by either party with 30 days' notice. It also details points of contact for both management and technical issues, dispute resolution procedures, and modification processes.
This Annex between NASA's George C. Marshall Space Flight Center (MSFC) and an unnamed Partner outlines an agreement for the Partner to lease federal land on MSFC and Redstone Arsenal. The purpose is to provide commercial cellular communication services to MSFC and Redstone Arsenal through a long-term Enhanced Use Lease (EUL). NASA MSFC will provide support and demand services on a fully reimbursable basis as detailed in the EUL's Exhibit C. The Partner is responsible for cooperating with NASA in developing service requirements and costs, submitting work requests, and providing access for service performance. The estimated cost for the Partner to reimburse NASA is $0.00, with provisions for adjustments if costs exceed the estimate. The Annex is effective upon the last signature and remains in effect for five years or until all obligations are complete, whichever comes first, but not exceeding the Umbrella Agreement's term. Either party can terminate with a thirty-day written notice. The legal authority for this Annex is the Space Act, Other Transactions Authority (OTA), 51 U.S.C. § 20113(e).
NASA's Marshall Space Flight Center (MSFC) issued AFP-MSFC-CELL-2025, soliciting proposals for the 10-year lease of two parcels (Site 1 and Site 2) to support cellular services. The objective is to lease underutilized land to commercial or federal entities that complement MSFC's mission and enhance U.S. commercial competitiveness in space, information technology, and aerospace. Proposals must include planned use, development concepts, financial viability, and relevant experience. Eligibility is restricted to U.S. Commercial Providers and U.S. Persons, excluding debarred entities or those associated with the Chinese government. The annual rent ranges from $9,040.20 to $15,067.00 per parcel, escalating 4.0% annually, with tenants responsible for utilities and site improvements. Proposals are due by January 20, 2026, 5:00 PM ET, submitted electronically, and will be evaluated based on proposed rent, financial capability, technical approach, and experience.
The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Marshall Space Flight Center (MSFC) is soliciting proposals for the lease of two parcels of land to support cellular services. This Announcement for Proposals (AFP-MSFC-CELL-2025) aims to lease underutilized land to commercial or federal entities that complement MSFC's mission and contribute to U.S. commercial competitiveness in space, information technology, and aerospace. The lease offers a 10-year base term with two 10-year options. Proposers must demonstrate financial capability, provide a technical approach for land development, and show experience in related fields. The annual rent for each parcel ranges from $9,040.20 to $15,067.00, escalating 4.0% annually. Proposals are due by October 13, 2025, and will be evaluated based on proposed rent, financial viability, technical approach, and experience.
The Agency Announcement for Proposals (AFP) AFP-MSFC-CELL-2025 outlines the lease of supporting cellular services at Redstone Arsenal, focusing on a single awarded site. Key restrictions include height limits of 185 ft for Site 1 and 225 ft for Site 2, requiring coordination with Redstone Army Airfield and the FAA. While Redstone approval for operation is not needed, NASA's Spectrum Manager will oversee frequency use. Construction must commence within four months, with critical infrastructure avoiding the Base Flood Elevation in floodplains. Towers must be 75 feet from high-voltage lines. Lease terms offer tenant renewal options and specific termination rights for NASA. The 4% escalator on lease payments is firm, but existing infrastructure can facilitate fiber Ethernet backhaul. Obstruction lighting and markings will be determined in coordination with aviation authorities.
