UPDATE Request for Bids for Food Trucks at Baker Beach within Golden Gate National Recreation Area
On July 13, 2026, the National Park Service released a request for bids to award up to two one-year leases for mobile food and beverage vending trucks at Baker Beach in Golden Gate National Recreation Area. The pilot offers year-round visitor traffic and an assigned parking space in the Baker Beach parking lot, with precise locations and space sizes detailed in the RFB and draft lease. The projected lease start is approximately four to six weeks after bid submission for selected operators. NPS will not accept questions or offer a site visit, though interested parties may visit the site during the solicitation window. NPS is concurrently soliciting similar operations at Rodeo Beach in the Marin Headlands; interested parties must respond separately to each RFB if they want both locations, and only electronic bids are accepted.
