I do not understand. Is Yosemite under the National Park Service, which is within US Dept of the Interior, which is subject to FAR? There is no justification

I do not understand. Is Yosemite under the National Park Service, which is within US Dept of the Interior, which is subject to FAR? There is no justification for Sole Source Contract here. There are many companies that can run hotels, concession stands, and such. Full and open competition.

It’s not under FAR because concessionaires are under a separate 1998 law. The concessionaire pays fees instead of the government paying for goods. There is still supposed to be competition but it can be limited eg incumbents may get preference.
