Discovery Park Michoud Assembly Facility Request for Interest (RFI)

The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) is seeking interest from public and private entities to partner with NASA for the development of land to support a self-contained multi-use, multi-tenant technology park located at the Michoud Assembly Facility (MAF) in New Orleans, LA. The primary focus will be on the 45-acre Discovery Park, but NASA will also consider interest in other areas on MAF for development. The partnership will be structured as a partnership between NASA MAF and an industry(s) or non-federal public entity(s), with NASA granting an interest in Discovery Park for a specified term through an Enhanced Use Lease (EUL) agreement. The selected entity will be responsible for the development and long-term operation of Discovery Park, including financing, marketing, tenant recruitment, and maintenance. Key aspects of the opportunity include: • Development of a 45-acre technology park • Partnership with NASA for the development and operation of Discovery Park • Enhanced Use Lease (EUL) agreement for a specified term • Responsibility for financing, marketing, tenant recruitment, and maintenance • Opportunity for commercial use of MAF real property to support NASA's mission and the missions of tenants located at MAF.
