What the government is buying
The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Mobile District is seeking a contractor to provide park attendant services at recreational areas across four states: Alabama, Mississippi, Georgia, and Florida. This is a services contract for operations and maintenance support at Corps-managed recreation sites.

In federal contracting, this code covers businesses that operate facilities providing short-term recreational accommodations, which typically includes services like campground management, visitor assistance, fee collection, facility maintenance, and customer service at outdoor recreation areas. The Mobile District manages numerous lakes, rivers, and coastal recreation areas throughout the Southeast, including campgrounds, day-use areas, boat ramps, and beaches.
This is a "Combined Synopsis/Solicitation," meaning the notice both announces the requirement and serves as the actual solicitation document that interested contractors can use to submit bids.

Who can bid
This opportunity is set aside exclusively for small businesses under the Small Business Set Aside - Total program. To bid, your business must:
- Be certified as small under NAICS 721211 (see the solicitation for the applicable size standard, typically measured by average annual receipts)
- Be registered and active in SAM.gov (System for Award Management)
- Have any required state or local licenses for operating recreational or hospitality services in the relevant jurisdictions
No specific socioeconomic preference (such as 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB) is indicated in the metadata, so all qualified small businesses may compete. If you are a certified small business in the recreation, hospitality, or facilities management sector—especially with experience in campground operations, visitor services, or federal recreation management—you should evaluate this opportunity.
How to put together a competitive bid
Leverage geographic and operational experience. The Mobile District spans a large territory with diverse recreation environments (reservoir lakes, coastal areas, river systems). Highlight experience managing multiple dispersed sites, seasonal staffing fluctuations, and region-specific conditions like hurricane preparedness or flood management.
Demonstrate visitor services capability. Park attendant services typically encompass fee collection, reservation management, facility cleaning and repair, interpretive programs, and emergency response coordination. Emphasize your customer service protocols, training programs, and any experience with recreation fee systems like Recreation.gov.
Address the multi-state complexity. Performance across four states requires understanding varying state regulations, travel logistics between sites, and regional labor markets. Your proposal should show how you'll manage supervision, supply chains, and personnel across state lines.
Highlight small business advantages. As a total small business set-aside, emphasize your agility, local knowledge, and responsiveness to District needs compared to larger competitors. Include any past performance with Corps districts, other federal land management agencies (National Park Service, Forest Service), or comparable state/local park systems.
Review pricing carefully. Services contracts of this type often use firm-fixed-price or time-and-materials structures; see the solicitation for the specific contract type and any phase-in requirements.
