Quick Summary
The Department of the Interior, National Park Service (NPS), through its Washington Contracting Office, has published a Justification & Approval for Other Than Full and Open Competition for the procurement of a CoStar Realty Suite Software Subscription Service. This justification outlines the rationale for a sole-source award for a one-year license for five users, citing CoStar's unique position as the primary provider of commercial property market data essential for NPS property valuation and rent charging.
Scope of Requirement
The requirement is for a one-year subscription to the CoStar Realty Suite Software for five users. This software provides critical commercial property market data, including sale and lease comparables, which the NPS utilizes to accurately value its property inventory and determine market-rate rents for tenants.
Contract & Timeline
- Type: Justification & Approval for Other Than Full and Open Competition (Sole Source)
- Product Service Code: R799 (Other Management Support Services)
- Set-Aside: None specified (sole-source justification)
- Published: March 31, 2026
Justification Rationale
The justification states that CoStar is the leading provider of comprehensive commercial property market data, tracking millions of properties and listings. Market research indicated that while other providers exist, only CoStar and the Multiple Listing Service (MLS) offer transaction data. The MLS was deemed unsuitable due to its regional limitations and insufficient commercial property data. The NPS concluded that CoStar's data is indispensable for its real estate valuation needs, and no other companies expressed interest or submitted offers during market research.
