Do Business With Us

Federal regulations prohibit engaging in or soliciting any business in National Park Service owned or managed areas, except in accordance with the provisions of a permit, contract, or other written agreement with the United States. In National Park Service areas, commercial visitor services or other commercial activities may be provided only by those holding an authorization from the United States.

Commercial Use Authorizations (CUA)

Public Law 105-391, Section 418, which was signed in 1998, provides for the issuance of Commercial Use Authorizations (CUAs) to a private person, corporation, or other entity to provide suitable commercial services for park area visitors. Commercial activities are generally prohibited in National Parks unless authorized by a CUA or concessions contract.
