What specific facility programming services are included in this contract, and how do they align with the National Park Service's strategic goals?
The contract specifies 'Administrative Management and General Management Consulting Services' (NAICS 541611).

The risk with a limited duration (266 days) is that it might only cover a specific phase of facility programming, potentially requiring follow-on contracts.
