The contract for the con- tinued operation of the concession by the Cavern Supply Company, In- corporated (Cavern), became effective on March 6, 1970, when it was signed by the Assistant Director, National Park Service This con- tract, for the period January 1, 1970, through December 31, 1989, su- persedes the previous contract with Cavern which was for the period April 1, 1952, to December 31, 1971. The new contract was initiated at the suggestion 'f Cavern in support of its proposed improvement progiam estimated to cost at least $142,500 On June 14, 1969, notice of the Department of the Inte- riorts intent to negotiate a contract with Cavern for the continued oper- ation of the Carlsbad Caverns National Pazk concession was published in the Federal Register. The notice stated that Cavern had performed its obligations to the satisfaction of the National Park Service and therefore was entitled to preference in the negotiation of the contract but that the Secretary of the Interior was required to consider and evaluate all proposals received for operating the concession On June 18, 1969, the National Park Service, in response to a telephone request, furnished Pickett Food Service, Inc. (Pickett), with a copy of the fact sheet stating the terms and conditions under which the contract would be negotiated The fact sheet, the conditions of which Cavern had previously found acceptable, included the following information: 1. Cavern had conducted its operations under the existing contract in a manner satisfactory to the Secretary of the Interior. 2. The act of October 9, 1965 (16 U.S.C. 20), provides that the Secretary of the Interior encourage continuity of operations by giving preference to concessioners who performed satisfacto- rily under prior contracts. 0%ilda
